Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) laid out a plan to break the gridlock in the House by attaching the SAVE America Act to the $1.15 trillion defense spending bill, possibly jeopardizing its path to passage on the floor.

Johnson unveiled the plan Monday night as the House Rules Committee met to advance the fiscal 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) pledging to sink the bill if her voter identification amendment is not attached.
