House Speaker Johnson says SAVE America Act will be pursued again via reconciliation bill

Speaker Mike Johnson (R‑La.) announced on Sunday that the House will try to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act “one more time” through a budget‑reconciliation bill. In an interview with Fox News host Shannon Bream, Johnson said the measure is a top priority for the president and for his own agenda. He noted that the House had already passed the bill in a prior vote.

The SAVE America Act is designed to protect voter eligibility by tightening rules on voter registration and election procedures. By moving the bill through budget reconciliation, the House can advance it without a filibuster, potentially speeding its passage through the Senate. Johnson emphasized that the administration’s focus on the act reflects a broader effort to address voting‑rights concerns.

If the reconciliation process proceeds as planned, the SAVE America Act could become law earlier this year, solidifying the House’s commitment to its voting‑rights agenda. The bill’s future will depend on Senate negotiations and the broader legislative timetable.
