JUST IN: House Republicans Form Coalition to Block All Senate Bills Until the SAVE Act Passes — Here Are the Members
Frustration inside the Republican Party is boiling over, and a group of House conservatives just decided they’re done waiting.
A coalition of House Republicans has reportedly formed with a very clear message for the Senate: nothing moves until the SAVE Act moves.
According to statements shared on Fox News and circulating widely online, several lawmakers are pledging to vote **against any Senate legislation** until the upper chamber finally brings the SAVE Act up for passage. The legislation, formally known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
The lawmakers confirmed to be part of the effort include:
* Randy Fine
* Keith Self
* Mark Harris
Their statement didn’t mince words.
> “Enough is enough. It’s time for House Republicans to draw a line in the sand. We are prepared to vote no on any Senate legislation until the upper chamber stops dragging its feet and passes the SAVE America Act.”
Momentum for the move appears to be building. Anna Paulina Luna also confirmed that there may already be enough votes in the House to effectively **stonewall Senate priorities** until the issue is addressed.
Luna even floated the idea of attaching the SAVE Act to other must-pass legislation, including surveillance authorities tied to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act — a move that would force the Senate to confront the issue directly.
Supporters of the SAVE Act argue that the proposal is simply common sense: if someone wants to vote in U.S. elections, they should have to prove they’re a U.S. citizen. Polling frequently shows large majorities of Americans supporting some form of voter ID or citizenship verification requirement.
Critics in Washington, however, have stalled the bill in the Senate for months, and many conservatives say patience is running out.
That’s why this new coalition could become a serious problem for Senate leadership. If enough House Republicans follow through on their threat, it could grind large portions of the legislative agenda to a halt.
And the message from these lawmakers is clear: if Washington refuses to act on election integrity, voters might start acting themselves when the next election rolls around.
