Cory Mills spars with Bryan Steil over attaching SAVE Act to CR: ‘Didn’t run for Congress to do the status quo’

Reps. Cory Mills (R-FL) and Bryan Steil (R-WI) sparred over the ongoing feud among House Republicans regarding whether to attach the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act to a continuing resolution and avoid a government shutdown, with Mills stating he would not while Steil argued otherwise.

House Republicans opted this past week to scrap their proposal for a continuing resolution, which would have extended current government spending levels until March 2025 while attaching the party’s SAVE Act to ensure voters show proof of citizenship to get registered to vote. Mills, who had said he would vote no to attaching the SAVE Act to continuing resolution, explained that his decision stems from how “it’s the same song and dance” where Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-CA) and the Democrat-controlled Senate have said they would strip out Republican legislation from the CR.
