House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is vying to hold a vote on Wednesday for theSafeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act paired with a stopgap spending package. This comes after there was opposition from some GOP lawmakers last week that led to a delay in the vote.
Johnson announced the plan for the vote on Tuesday, "Congress has an immediate obligation to do two things: responsibly fund the federal government and ensure the security of our elections."

“Because we owe this to our constituents, we will move forward on Wednesday with a vote on the 6-month CR with the SAVE Act attached. I urge all of my colleagues to do what the overwhelming majority of the people of this county rightfully demand and deserve - prevent non-American citizens from voting in American elections,” Johnson added.
