Johnson Shrinks Again As Congress Reaches Shutdown Deal Without 'Proof Of Citizenship' SAVE Act
[ZERO] House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Sunday unveiled a 90-day band-aid to avoid yet another government shutdown which fails to include the SAVE Act, which would have required proof of citizenship at the time of voter registration - despite Donald Trump calling on Congressional Republicans not to pass a spending plan without "every ounce" of the proposal.
So, instead of playing chicken over the key issue of election integrity, the new continuing resolution (CR) - negotiated by both parties - would keep the government funded at current levels through Dec. 20, setting the stage for yet another funding fight before Christmas recess.
It includes an additional $231 million to help the Secret Service protect candidates during this election season and into next year after Donald Trump was almost assassinated twice.
