Trump presses House GOP to end floor blockade over elections bill

President Donald Trump urged House GOP hard-liners to drop their floor blockade on major bills, including the SAVE America Act, arguing for less grandstanding. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is pressing to attach the elections bill to other measures, threatening to derail floor votes, while Speaker Mike Johnson seeks to keep the House in session to move a housing bill and other priorities. The standoff risks delaying fiscal 2027 spending bills and the defense policy bill, and a Democrat discharge effort led by Jamie Raskin to block the Anti-Weaponization Fund adds to the friction as lawmakers weigh next steps and potential extended recess.
