The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on a continuing resolution (CR) that aims to fund the government for six months beyond the September 30 deadline, while also attaching the controversial Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which mandates proof of citizenship for voter registration. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) promotes the bill as essential for both government funding and election security, asserting that it addresses the issue of illegal voting. However, the proposal faces significant opposition, including from within the Republican Party, and is expected to fail due to insufficient support, as Democrats are poised to oppose it. With the impending shutdown deadline, the bill's fate remains uncertain, particularly as it is viewed as a nonstarter in the Democratic-controlled Senate, where President Biden has indicated he would veto it. The lack of bipartisan consensus raises concerns about the potential for a government shutdown, coinciding with the start of early voting for the November elections.
