Trump-aligned House holdouts accused of holding 'life-saving' veterans bill 'hostage' over SAVE America Act

The Take Care of America's Veterans Act, a package expanding veterans' health care and benefits, is stalled in the House due to a Republican standoff over the SAVE America Act, which requires proof of citizenship for voter registration. House Republicans, including 14 who joined Democrats to block a procedural vote, accuse leadership of prioritizing the SAVE Act over unrelated legislation, while supporters argue the veterans bill should proceed independently.
