Over a dozen Republicans voted alongside 206 Democrats Wednesday to block Speaker Mike Johnson’s revived funding just a week after

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) government funding bill was sunk through the combined efforts of Democrats and Republicans in the lower chamber on Wednesday. Fourteen members of Johnson’s own party voted alongside most Democrats against the Louisiana Republican’s spending plan,

Johnson previously scrapped a vote on the bill last week to spend the weekend rounding up support from hesitant members of his caucus. He also attached the SAVE Act to the legislation, which would prohibit states from registering non-citizens as voters—something Johnson himself has admitted is already illegal under federal law.

House Speaker Mike Johnson's proposal to tie temporary federal government funding with the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act failed to pass a floor vote on Wednesday. Fourteen Republicans and three Democrats voted against their respective party lines.
