House May Come To Standstill As GOP Holdouts Threaten To Shut Down Votes Over SAVE America Act

The House of Representatives could come to a standstill after Republican Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna threatened to oppose all floor action until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act was passed.

The House scheduled a rules vote at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, which did not happen because of Republican holdouts such as Luna, Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy of Texas and Republican Ohio Rep. Max Miller, a source familiar told the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation. This could disrupt the House’s floor schedule and cause hurdles in getting legislation passed.

“When will the Senate learn that they cannot keep punching the American people in the face and not expect blowback to happen? Not one piece of their legislation will pass unless they pass the save America act,” Luna said Wednesday.

Republican Texas Reps. Brandon Gill, Keith Self and Michael Cloud said they would oppose all rules and legislation until the Senate passed the SAVE America Act. Luna told Politico Wednesday that the House floor would be “closed this week,” though a source familiar told the DCNF the House plans to proceed with its current schedule.

Luna’s office did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

Thirty-two House Republicans, including Luna and Roy, voted against the housing bill during a Tuesday vote.
