Johnson’s Merge Gambit Aims to Unfreeze the House Floor
TL;DR Summary
House Republicans advanced a plan to bundle the annual defense policy bill with the SAVE America Act into a single package for Senate consideration in an effort to unfreeze floor action amid intra-GOP resistance; conservatives led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna hint they may vote against the move without additional assurances, while Democrats criticize the high price tag and expect the Senate to strip the elections bill, signaling a fragile path forward ahead of the July 4 recess and ongoing negotiations between chambers.
