The House is set to vote on Speaker Mike Johnson's proposal that ties federal government funding for the new budget year to a mandate requiring states to demand proof of citizenship from individuals registering to vote. The bill, which was temporarily withdrawn last week for further deliberation within the Republican party, is scheduled for a vote on Wednesday.
While efforts were made to build consensus among Republicans, some members still harbor concerns about maintaining current spending levels. Despite this, Speaker Johnson remains resolute in his decision to proceed with the vote. On the other hand, Democrats are largely opposed to the measure.
