Mike Johnson vows to attach SAVE Act to government funding bill despite opposition

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is going full speed ahead on attaching the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to a continuing resolution to keep the government funded and avert a shutdown. This comes amid opposition coming from the White House as well as congressional Democrats. A few Republicans have also taken issue with the vote.

According to The Hill, Johnson will continue forward with a rule vote on Tuesday. “We’re going to put the SAVE Act and the CR together and we’re going to move that through the process,” Johnson said on Tuesday. “I am resolved to that. We’re not looking at any other alternative or any other step; I think it’s the right thing to do.”
