House To Vote On Bill Linking Budget Budget CR To Election Integrity
House Speaker Mike Johnson [R-LA] has unveiled a Trump-backed plan to avoid a government shutdown. The proposal would accomplish two goals for Republicans and the former president as they look ahead to the November election. One would be a Continuing Resolution to avoid a partial government shutdown at the end of the month. The other would help safeguard the integrity of the election by attatching a piece of legislation known as the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibilty-or SAVE-act. It would require proof of citizenship for those who register to vote. Next week’s likely House passage will set the stage for a showdown with the Democrat-controlled Senate.
