一场围绕唐纳德·特朗普总统选举改革提案的激烈争执，进一步重创本已功能失调的美国国会，导致共和党无法推进其议程中的关键议题。
数周来，特朗普对该法案的要求引发动荡，迫使众议院议长迈克·约翰逊周四提前让议员们返乡——原因是党内议员在议会 floor 上对此发起反抗。消息人士告诉CNN，约翰逊可能还不得不取消下周的议事，因为其领导团队私下里看不到出路，而议员们怒不可遏。
“我们无法齐心协力，所以我提前一天飞回家，”众议员特洛伊·内尔斯离开国会大厦时愤怒地说道。
另一位共和党议员、即将卸任的托马斯·马西更为直言不讳，称特朗普痴迷于这项选民身份和公民身份证明法案是一种“干扰”，会让共和党在中期选举中损失惨重。
“问题不在于选举。我们赢了该死的选举。问题在于，我们正在浪费选民赋予我们的执政机会。如果共和党人不觉醒，11月他们将为此付出代价。那将是一场彻底的惨败，”马西说道。
这一切都意味着国会山共和党领导人正面临一场迅速升级的政治危机。他们眼睁睁看着总统一再打乱他们的计划，转而推行自己的议程。这项被称为“拯救美国法案”的法案，在众议院没有足够票数能提交到特朗普的办公桌前——但总统本人绝不会接受“不”这个答案。据多位知情人士透露，到目前为止，共和党领导层的计划是寄希望于特朗普及其国会山的“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）盟友们，为保护共和党微弱的多数席位而同意放弃他们的要求。
约翰逊或许至少能解决其中一个棘手问题：周四在白宫与特朗普进行长时间会谈后，总统公开呼吁国会山的MAGA盟友放弃他们为推进选举改革法案而发起的议会抗议行动。
特朗普在Truth Social平台上发帖敦促这些共和党反叛者：“拜托，别再哗众取宠了！”
会谈结束后，约翰逊也发表了声明，告诉记者他和特朗普“完全达成一致”。
“他希望我们阻止众议院的任何阻挠。国会有工作要做，这就是我们要做的事情，”约翰逊说道，淡化了党内分歧。“这不过是又一个工作日而已。在席位差距微小的时代，这就是议事程序，但我们会完成任务。我们向来如此。”
不过，目前尚不清楚特朗普的呼吁是否会奏效。在他发帖后不久，佛罗里达州众议员安娜·宝琳娜·卢娜在X平台上写道，只有将特朗普的选举法案附加到一项必须通过的国防法案上，才能获得她的投票以重新开放议会议事，而这是共和党领导层所不支持的。
这也无法缓解党内处境最脆弱的议员们日益加剧的焦虑，他们恳求特朗普停止这场闹剧，并证明他们为何仍应在11月之后继续掌权。
然而，特朗普拒绝签署共和党领导人近期取得的最大成就——两党住房法案。他还破坏了与民主党达成的一项协议，该协议本可续签一项关键的国家安全工具。而在过去24小时里，这些MAGA盟友联合起来，实际上关闭了众议院议事大厅，阻止了国防政策、拨款和退伍军人医疗等相关法案的投票。
周四从白宫会议返回后，约翰逊告诉记者，他计划将住房法案提交到特朗普的办公桌前。不过目前尚不清楚特朗普是否会签署该法案。
在许多共和党人看来，特朗普决定搁置住房法案签署仪式，是他近期举动中最令人恼火的一次。
“我们曾有两党立法，直面如今全美民众面临的核心问题：负担能力，”前不久退出共和党、现为无党派人士的加州众议员凯文·凯利谈及特朗普迄今拒绝签署的住房法案时说道。“而现在它暂时被破坏了，理由是什么？毫无正当理由。所以，至少可以说，这令人恼火。”
包括一位特朗普顾问在内的多位共和党人士表示，他们认为在本周党内反叛之后，特朗普最终还是会签署住房法案。不过，凯利和其他几位同事一样，将自己的不满程度描述为“非常高”。
很少批评领导层的资深共和党众议员迈克·辛普森，就强硬派议员几乎停滞了众议院的大部分议事行动说道：“我有点生气。”
就连众议院共和党领导层成员、共和党全国竞选委员会主席、北卡罗来纳州众议员理查德·哈德森，也将本周围绕《拯救美国法案》的内斗描述为“令人沮丧”。
“我们都和总统一样，对参议院无法推进《拯救美国法案》感到沮丧。我们都认为这项法案非常、非常重要，但我们还有其他优先事项需要推进，”哈德森在谈到本周劫持议会议事的保守派同事时说道。
在中期选举前的关键夏季窗口期，特朗普严重破坏了共和党为保住微弱多数席位而制定的大部分战略。由共和党掌控的国会再次陷入混乱。
在众议院，以卢娜为首的特朗普最直言不讳的支持者们实际上掌控了议会大厅，他们要求参议院通过特朗普的选举改革法案。他们特别呼吁参议院废除阻挠议事规则，而参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩及其盟友多次表示，本届国会任期内此举绝无可能。
参议院共和党领导层明确表示，他们没有足够票数在本院通过该法案，也没有足够票数按照特朗普的要求废除阻挠议事规则。
约翰逊继续支持特朗普的选举改革提案，同时在参议院议事程序上 defer 给图恩。（众议院此前曾通过该选举法案的多个版本，但未包含特朗普最新提出的包括限制邮寄投票在内的要求。）
“我们已在众议院三次通过《拯救美国法案》。我们还会再次这么做。我们正在为此努力，我将和总统谈谈这些问题，以及如何重新推进议程，这将非常富有成效。期待这次会谈，”约翰逊说道。
对于许多众议院共和党人来说，这是一个熟悉且令人沮丧的插曲——他们曾目睹自己的强硬派同事利用微弱的多数席位提出要求。
“你是在问我，众议院自由核心小组是不是一个理性的参与者？”共和党温和派众议员扎克·纳恩打趣道。“我想我们都知道答案。”

Trump’s fixation on election overhaul bill derails GOP agenda on Capitol Hill
2026-06-25T20:10:56.003Z / CNN
A nasty feud over President Donald Trump’s elections overhaul push has further crippled an already-dysfunctional Congress, leaving Republicans unable to move on critical elements of their agenda.
Weeks of tumult fueled by Trump’s demands for the bill forced Speaker Mike Johnson to send his members home early on Thursday because of a GOP rebellion over it on the floor. Johnson may have to cancel next week too with his leadership team privately seeing no way out, sources tell CNN — while members are livid.
“I’m flying home a day early because we couldn’t get our act together,” Rep. Troy Nehls fumed as he departed the Capitol.
Another Republican, outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie, was even more blunt, calling Trump’s fixation on the voter ID and proof-of-citizenship bill a “distraction” that will cost the party big in the midterms.
“The problem is not the election. We won the damn elections. The problem is, we’re wasting our opportunity that the voters gave us. And the Republicans are going to pay for that in November. It’ll be an absolute shellacking if they don’t wake up,” Massie said.
It all amounts to a quickly escalating political crisis for GOP leaders on the Hill, who have watched the president repeatedly uproot their plans in pursuit of his own agenda. The bill, known as the “SAVE America Act,” doesn’t have the votes to get to Trump’s desk — but the president himself won’t take no for an answer. Leadership’s 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.
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.
Trump urged those GOP rebels in a post on Truth Social: “No more grandstanding, please!”
Speaking after that meeting, Johnson issued his own statement, telling reporters that he and Trump “are on exactly the same page.”
“He wants to ensure that we stop any blockade in the House. Congress has work to do, and that’s what we are going to do,” Johnson said, downplaying any intraparty divisions. “This is another day at the office. This is the process in an era with small margins, but we’ll get the job done. We always do.”
It’s not clear, though, if Trump’s 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’s elections bill to a must-pass defense bill, something GOP leaders do not support.
And it does little to appease the rising anxiety among the party’s most vulnerable members, who are begging Trump to stop the drama and show why they should still be in charge after November.
Instead, Trump is refusing to sign his own leaders’ biggest recent achievement in the bipartisan housing bill. He also tanked a compromise with Democrats that would have renewed a critical national security tool. And now, in the last 24 hours, those MAGA loyalists banded together to effectively shut down the House floor and prevent votes on legislation covering defense policy, appropriations and veterans’ healthcare.
After returning from a meeting at the White House on Thursday, Johnson told reporters he planned to send to the housing bill to Trump’s desk. It’s not clear though if Trump will sign it.
Trump’s decision to scuttle the housing bill signing was, to many Republicans, the most infuriating of his recent moves.
“We had bipartisan legislation to address head-on the central issue facing folks across the country now, affordability,” said Rep. Kevin Kiley of California, an independent from California who recently left the GOP, of the housing bill that Trump has so far refused to sign. “And now it’s for the moment been torpedoed, and for what reason? No good reason. So, yeah, that’s annoying to say the least.”
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 “high.”
Rep. Mike Simpson, a senior Republican who rarely criticizes leadership, said of hardliners bringing most House floor action to a halt: “I’m a little pissed off.”
Even a member of House GOP leadership, campaign chief Rep. Richard Hudson of North Carolina, described this week’s infighting over the SAVE Act as “frustrating”
“I mean we all share the president’s frustration with the Senate’s ability to move the SAVE America Act. We all see it as very, very important, but there are other priorities too we’d like to move,” Hudson said of his conservative colleagues who held the floor hostage this week.
In the critical summer stretch before the midterm elections, Trump has torched much of his party’s strategy to hold onto their narrow margins. And the GOP-led Congress has again been thrown into chaos.
In the House, some of Trump’s most vocal supporters — led by Luna — effectively seized control of the floor as they demanded that the Senate take up Trump’s elections overhaul bill. They are specifically calling for the Senate to blow up the filibuster, something that Senate Majority Leader John Thune and his allies have repeatedly said is impossible this term.
Senate GOP leaders, for their part, have made clear they do not have the votes needed to pass the bill in their chamber or the votes to abolish the filibuster as Trump has demanded.
Johnson has continued to stand behind Trump’s elections overhaul push, while deferring to Thune on his chamber’s procedures. (The House has passed prior versions of the elections bill, though not the president’s most recent demands, including restrictions on mail-in voting).
“We passed the SAVE Act three times in the House. We’ll do it again. We’re working on that, and I’m going to talk with the president, about these issues and how to get the agenda moving again, and, and it’s gonna be very productive. Looking forward to it,” Johnson said.
It’s a familiar — and frustrating — episode for many House Republicans who’ve watched their hardliner colleagues use their slim margins to make demands before.
“Are you asking me, do I think the House Freedom Caucus is a rational actor?” quipped GOP centrist Rep. Zach Nunn. “ I think we all know the answer to that.”
