Johnson Seeks to Reboot GOP Agenda as Capitol Gridlock Persists
TL;DR
Trump’s push for the SAVE America Act and other election-security measures has left Capitol Hill in gridlock, with Speaker Mike Johnson trying to salvage the GOP agenda by keeping the House in session for a Trump meeting and votes on spending bills. A White House request for roughly $88 billion in Iran war funding, farm aid, and disaster relief complicates budget talks, and if no deal is reached, votes for the week (and next) could be canceled, threatening a party-line reconciliation package and major defense funding.
