Reconciliation Stalls Over Voter ID

Republicans are racing to pass a major immigration funding bill via reconciliation—a Senate process that bypasses bipartisan hurdles but demands every provision directly impact spending or revenue. But the effort is stalled by former President Trump, who insists the party prioritize a voter ID bill, which can’t be reconciled. Speaker Mike Johnson attempted a compromise with a state grant program, but Trump rejected any deviation. Party divisions are deepening: hardliners demand the election bill, while Senate leaders warn it lacks votes without Democrats. Amid looming deadlines for a government shutdown and the farm bill, senators debate priorities—some pushing tax cuts, others defense spending. Meanwhile, Senator Bernie Moreno is forging a bipartisan Social Security bill, proving that even amid chaos, some lawmakers still seek common ground on issues that matter to everyday Americans.
