House Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly instructed Senate Republicans to remove the controversial SAVE Act from the government funding legislation once it passes the House. This move comes despite Johnson's public stance of wanting the SAVE Act, which aims to prevent noncitizens from voting, included in the funding fight.
House Speaker Mike Johnson told Senate Republicans to strip the SAVE Act from the government funding legislation once the House passes the bill, senior aides from two different GOP U.S. Senate offices who support the SAVE Act being part of government funding efforts told Breitbart News on Thursday.The SAVE Act is a Republican-led piece of legislation that would take drastic steps to prevent noncitizens—particularly illegal aliens—from voting in America.
That is what makes what these Senate GOP aides are saying Johnson told Republican senators so very interesting. One Senate GOP aide told Breitbart News that Johnson literally told Republican senators that if he is able to get his government funding plan with the SAVE Act in it passed out of the House, then senators should strip the SAVE Act out of it and pass a clean funding bill to send back to the House, thereby capitulating.
Government funding expires at the end of September, and while conservatives are itching for a fight on noncitizen voting, there is also a general fatigue among Republicans regarding government shutdown politics—especially this close to the election.
