House Unveils $10 Billion State Grant Plan to Advance Trump's SAVE America Act

$10 billion in the new House reconciliation blueprint would fund state grants to adopt parts of the SAVE America Act, rather than insert the stalled election bill directly into the package.
Republicans are using that narrower grant structure to try to satisfy the Senate's Byrd Rule, after acknowledging the full SAVE America Act likely would not survive reconciliation review.
Policies under discussion include grants tied to voter ID enforcement and incentives for states to add proof-of-citizenship requirements to REAL IDs, with the House Administration Committee due to draft guardrails by Sept. 11.
The broader package is expected to total about $95 billion for defense, farm aid and election measures, but it still faces resistance from House conservatives before a planned floor vote by the end of next week.
The move shifts pressure to Senate Republicans and John Thune as Trump intensifies demands to pass his top election priority despite Democratic opposition and some GOP resistance.
