Trump’s late push nudges Johnson toward breaking the shutdown stalemate
TL;DR Summary
President Trump privately pressed House Speaker Mike Johnson to bring a funding bill to the floor, securing two GOP holdouts (Anna Paulina Luna and Tim Burchett) to back the rule in exchange for a pledge to push the SAVE Act and a Senate vote on voter ID; with Johnson’s tenuous one-vote margin, conservatives demand a say on the full-year DHS funding and ICE reforms while White House aides coordinate with the Senate, leaving the path to ending the shutdown still uncertain.
