House Rejects SAVE Act, Shutdown Looms

A continuing resolution paired with the SAVE Act failed in the House, intensifying the risk of a government shutdown with only 13 days left to secure funding. The GOP-led bill aimed to extend funding until March 2025 while requiring voter citizenship proof, but it was rejected due to opposition from all Democrats and some Republican hardliners. This has led to calls for a clean funding bill, potentially angering former President Trump who supports the SAVE Act. Meanwhile, Proposition 140 in Arizona faces legal challenges over the validity of petition signatures, which could impact the shift to nonpartisan primaries. The debate over the Electoral College continues, with some arguing it should be abolished due to its historical ties to the Three-Fifths Compromise and claims of racial entitlement.
