Anna Paulina Luna promises to keep House floor closed until Senate returns from 19-day recess

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is fuming over Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s (R-SD) decision not to push back the planned July 4 recess ahead of any votes on the SAVE America Act, promising to shut down the House floor as long as the Senate recess lasts.

Thune held a vote to adjourn the Senate late Wednesday evening after a contentious day on Capitol Hill, in which President Donald Trump bucked his plans to sign a bipartisan housing affordability bill to demand Senate action on the SAVE America Act. Luna, who has long been a champion of the voter ID law that was thrust back into the center of the Capitol Hill spotlight yesterday, vowed to take matters into her own hands in response to the unanimous Senate vote to adjourn for 19 days.
