House Speaker Mike Johnson has postponed a scheduled vote on a temporary government funding bill due to rising opposition from several Republican lawmakers, who expressed concerns over the bill's spending figures and its inclusion of the SAVE Act, which mandates proof of citizenship to vote. Johnson emphasized the need for 'consensus-building' within the Republican conference and stated that discussions would continue over the weekend to rally support for the legislation. The proposed bill is intended to prevent a government shutdown by extending funding until March 2025, but with the deadline approaching on September 30, urgency is growing. Johnson acknowledged the challenges posed by the narrow Republican majority, allowing little room for dissent. Despite the opposition, he remains committed to advocating for the SAVE Act, arguing that it addresses vital election security concerns. The dynamics of the vote may be complicated further by Democratic opposition, though there is some indication of potential bipartisan support.
