Johnson says House Republicans will try to advance the voter ID bill through budget reconciliation after a GOP revolt stalled floor action.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to advance President Donald Trump's SAVE America Act using budget reconciliation when the House returns to Washington, linking it with the National Defense Authorization Act.
- Last week, a group of conservative hardliners led by Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna blocked a key procedural vote to protest Congress failing to send the SAVE America Act to the president's desk.

- Johnson discussed his reconciliation strategy with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who expressed doubts about the bill's contents, though Johnson insisted the legislation will focus on core ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements.
