Summary
House GOP leaders and Jim Jordan moved closer Monday to an offer that could persuade hard-liners to release their weeks-long blockade and allow a procedural rule vote as soon as Tuesday.
Chip Roy and other rebels said promises are no longer enough; they want concrete action to codify Trump’s border policies, while Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris said leadership was preparing a border-security offer.
Anna Paulina Luna said she would lift her hold if Johnson ties the SAVE America Act to appropriations and other must-pass bills, narrowing the revolt that had frozen House business.
Russ Vought also pitched a third reconciliation bill carrying SAVE America Act pieces, but House Budget Republicans said they still lack details and Senate Majority Leader John Thune warned the path to 51 votes would be "bumpy."
