House Cancels Votes As GOP Holdouts Revolt Over Failure To Pass SAVE America Act

The House of Representatives cancelled its votes scheduled for Friday as some Republicans opposed all votes until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act passes.

Republican Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and others vowed to oppose all floor action until the Senate passes the SAVE America Act. The chamber canceled rules votes scheduled for Wednesday afternoon and cannot proceed without these rules.

“Members are advised that votes are no longer expected in the House on Friday, June 26th,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer said. “The last vote for this week is expected at approximately 1:00 p.m. this afternoon. This is a change from the previously announced schedule.”

The House remained committed to voting on a suspension bill Thursday before leaving for the week.

Luna signed a letter with 24 other members pledging to vote against any Senate-passed bills unless they passed the SAVE America Act. These members included Republican Reps. Chip Roy and Brandon Gill of Texas, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Warren Davidson of Ohio and Byron Donalds of Florida.

“Myself and 24 other members have signed a letter pledging to vote NO on any Senate bills unless SAVE America is passed,” Luna said Monday. “Now, the Senate is sending a housing package to the House, and to honor my pledge I will oppose it unless SAVE America is attached. The Senate cannot keep obstructing President Trump’s agenda while ignoring 🗳️Election Integrity. I call on my fellow colleagues to stand firm and honor their pledge.”

The SAVE America Act would require voters to provide proof of citizenship and identification before casting a ballot.
