Trump’s Lifeline Tests GOP Unity as House Prepares July Agenda

Trump gave Speaker Johnson a lifeline to move the GOP agenda next week, but hard-liners threaten to block floor votes again unless demands—such as attaching the SAVE America Act to the defense policy bill—are met, a move Senate leaders say would derail the defense bill. Lawmakers plan a July push on fiscal 2027 funding, the defense policy bill, a kids online safety bill, and a third reconciliation package, with Johnson saying they’re on the same page about stopping the blockade. Additional items noted include the Hispanic Caucus preparing for a new chair and Oversight Chair Comer set to question an Epstein-linked investor.
