The bill, known as the \u201cSAVE America Act,\u201d doesn\u2019t have the votes to get to Trump\u2019s desk \u2014 but the president himself won\u2019t take no for an answer. Leadership\u2019s plan, so far, is to hope that Trump and his MAGA loyalists on the Hill agree to back off their demands in the interest of protecting their slim majorities, according to multiple people familiar with the discussions.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Johnson may be on track to resolve at least one of those headaches: After a lengthy meeting with Trump at the White House on Thursday, the president publicly called for his MAGA allies in the House to back off their takeover of the floor in their own push for that the elections overhaul bill.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump urged those GOP rebels in a post on Truth Social: \u201cNo more grandstanding, please!\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Speaking after that meeting, Johnson issued his own statement, telling reporters that he and Trump \u201care on exactly the same page.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cHe wants to ensure that we stop any blockade in the House. Congress has work to do, and that\u2019s what we are going to do,\u201d Johnson said, downplaying any intraparty divisions. \u201cThis is another day at the office. This is the process in an era with small margins, but we\u2019ll get the job done. We always do.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            It\u2019s not clear, though, if Trump\u2019s plea will work. Shortly after his post, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida wrote on X saying the only way to get her vote to reopen the floor is by attaching Trump\u2019s elections bill to a must-pass defense bill, something GOP leaders do not support.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And it does little to appease the rising anxiety among the party\u2019s most vulnerable members, who are begging Trump to stop the drama and show why they should still be in charge after November.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A signing desk with the Seal of the President sits on an event stage erected in Statuary Hall after President Donald Trump canceled a scheduled signing of a bipartisan legislation aimed at speeding up \u200bthe construction and availability of more affordable housing, at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, Wednesday, June 24.\" class=\"wp-image-3971\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/c1bcd777b506f8232c833d0d7d4fb4b8.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/c1bcd777b506f8232c833d0d7d4fb4b8.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/c1bcd777b506f8232c833d0d7d4fb4b8-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>A signing desk with the Seal of the President sits on an event stage erected in Statuary Hall after President Donald Trump canceled a scheduled signing of a bipartisan legislation aimed at speeding up \u200bthe construction and availability of more affordable housing, at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, Wednesday, June 24.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Elizabeth Frantz\/Reuter<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Instead, Trump is refusing to sign his own leaders\u2019 biggest recent achievement in the bipartisan housing bill.

No good reason. So, yeah, that\u2019s annoying to say the least.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Multiple Republicans, including a Trump advisor, said they believe Trump ultimately will sign the housing bill after the revolt in his party this week. Still, Kiley, like several other of his colleagues, described his level of consternation as \u201chigh.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Rep. Mike Simpson, a senior Republican who rarely criticizes leadership, said of hardliners bringing most House floor action to a halt: \u201cI\u2019m a little pissed off.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Even a member of House GOP leadership, campaign chief Rep. Richard Hudson of North Carolina, described this week\u2019s infighting over the SAVE Act as \u201cfrustrating\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cI mean we all share the president\u2019s frustration with the Senate\u2019s ability to move the SAVE America Act. We all see it as very, very important, but there are other priorities too we\u2019d like to move,\u201d Hudson said of his conservative colleagues who held the floor hostage this week.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In the critical summer stretch before the midterm elections, Trump has torched much of his party\u2019s strategy to hold onto their narrow margins. And the GOP-led Congress has again been thrown into chaos.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Rep.
