Trump Meets with House Speaker to Discuss Housing Projects and Elections
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
President Donald Trump is expected to meet Thursday afternoon at the White House with House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, to discuss a way to move forward amid legislative gridlock on Capitol Hill, according to a source familiar with the meeting. This meeting comes a day after President Trump abruptly canceled a signing ceremony for a significant housing bill that had received broad bipartisan support. On Wednesday, the president told Senate Republicans that they must first pass the SAVE America Act, a measure that would require voters to present additional documentation and proof of citizenship to vote, despite repeated warnings that the bill does not have enough votes to advance. Johnson needs the president's support to break the logjam in the House, where Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican from Florida, has been blocking all legislative activity until the SAVE Act is approved. A version of the measure has already passed the House but remains stalled in the Senate.
