Defense Bill Advances Amid Election Reform | US News
Description
House Republicans are poised to pass a $1.15 trillion defense bill after resolving a weeks-long standoff over adding the SAVE America Act, which mandates proof of citizenship for federal voter registration. Speaker Mike Johnson brokered a deal with conservatives, continuing his strategy of bundling election reform with major legislation. While some GOP lawmakers push for amendments on transgender service and Ukraine aid, Democrats blast the bill as prioritizing contractors over citizens, citing broken promises from Trump. The House Rules Committee backs the bill as essential to national security, and a separate budget blueprint could add $95 billion, $60 billion of it for Iran-related defense. Though the House’s passage is likely, Senate approval may prove more challenging.
