Luna Threatens to Block House Floor Over Housing Bill Vote, Jeopardizing 2 Spending Measures

Summary
Anna Paulina Luna said she would oppose procedural votes if House GOP leaders use fast-track rules Tuesday to pass a bipartisan housing bill, threatening to “shut the floor down.”
Mike Johnson still plans a Tuesday evening vote to send the bill to President Donald Trump for a planned Wednesday White House signing, but Luna says a group of Republicans could join her.
With Republicans holding a razor-thin majority, that rebellion could derail two appropriations bills slated for this week and potentially freeze House floor action indefinitely.
Luna says leaders should prioritize the SAVE America Act instead and has urged Trump to veto the housing bill unless the stalled GOP elections measure is attached.

21st Century ROAD to Housing Act Faces Uncertain Future as Luna Links Passage to SAVE America Act and Permanent CBDC Ban
Overview
As of June 23, 2026, a major legislative standoff has developed in Congress, with Representative Anna Paulina Luna threatening to block the '21st Century ROAD to Housing Act' and other Senate-passed bills in the House. Luna’s main demand is that the Senate take real action to pass the 'Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act.' She and other House Republicans also want a permanent ban on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), arguing that even the bill’s temporary ban until 2030 is not enough. These linked demands have created a significant hurdle for passing important housing legislation.
