Trump says his bill would 'guarantee the midterms.' House Republicans are moving on.

(Politico) DORAL, Florida — President Donald Trump told House Republicans Monday he had one overriding legislative priority for 2026. Then they spent Tuesday talking about just about anything else.

Trump’s demand for passage of an updated SAVE America Act — a GOP elections bill that the House has advanced two versions of already — was met with less than complete enthusiasm from leaders gathered for the annual Republican policy retreat.

Speaker Mike Johnson and other senior lawmakers gave the unmistakable impression they now consider that bill to be a Senate problem — even after Trump insisted the House take it up a third time and add on more controversial provisions, such as a near-total ban on mail voting.

Informed that Senate Majority Leader John Thune had said the House should send the Senate another revised bill, Johnson appeared surprised at a fireside chat with reporters. “Did he say that?” the speaker said. “Careful what you wish for.”
