The House GOP still can't get out of its own way

After projecting confidence that he would have the votes to pass a continuing resolution funding the government through March of next year, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was forced to cancel a vote on the bill Wednesday as House Republicans struggled to find consensus.

The plan, as Johnson had articulated it, was to pass a CR with the “SAVE Act” attached to it, which is a bill that would strengthen requirements for states to ensure that noncitizens can’t vote in national elections.
