“House Republicans should unify, and stop voting down ‘Rules’ or, threatening to do so. Giving power to the Radical Left Dumocrats in the House to control what goes up for a Vote will make our outcomes worse, not better. No more grandstanding, please!”
— Donald Trump, President

Following a White House meeting on Thursday, House Speaker Mike Johnson stated he and former President Donald Trump agreed on the need to end a procedural stall led by Representative Anna Paulina Luna. Trump later posted on Truth Social, urging House Republicans to stop voting down or threatening to block floor rules, warning that doing so cedes control to Democrats. Luna’s faction has been withholding support for routine procedural votes to force passage of the SAVE Act, which would tighten voter ID requirements and has already cleared the House but stalled in the Senate. This blockade prevents Johnson from advancing other legislation through normal channels, making the standoff a key test of party unity and legislative momentum.
