GOP hardliners derail voting-reform push, halting House schedule
TL;DR Summary
The House descended into gridlock as Republican hardliners blocked votes on the SAVE America Act and other voting-reform measures, forcing Speaker Mike Johnson to cancel votes and end the July Fourth schedule. The stoppage also stalls the Pentagon’s annual defense policy bill and stalls routine governance ahead of the midterms, with Democrats frustrated by intra-GOP infighting and a razor-thin majority.
