Summary
House Republican leaders are trying to revive the stalled SAVE America Act by merging it with a defense policy bill. However, conservative lawmakers who blocked the bill last week are still withholding their support. The House Rules Committee approved a rule to combine the two bills, but Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who led the protest, argues that this tactic won’t force Senate action. She wants a SAVE amendment added to the defense bill. The House will vote on the rule on Tuesday, and if it fails, the floor will be frozen, and lawmakers may return home early.
