Senate Breaks for July Amid Voting Bill Drama | Durham News

The Senate called an early Fourth of July break after President Trump blocked a bipartisan housing bill, demanding Congress pass the controversial SAVE AMERICA Act—which mandates voter ID and citizenship proof—before signing. With no realistic path to passage by November, Senator Tillis called the timeline “absurd,” while Rep. Anna Paulina Luna stalled House bills until the Senate acts, forcing Speaker Johnson to send lawmakers home. The housing bill is now headed to the White House for a 10-day review, while the nation gears up for the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence with nationwide celebrations—including in North Carolina.
