I'm Elizabeth Mitchell and this is the Daily Signal top news

for Wednesday, September 11th. The House of Representatives was expected to vote on the bill to fund the federal

government on Wednesday, but Speaker Mike Johnson pulled the bill from the House floor

cannot vote in US elections to the continuing resolution to fund the

federal government for the next six months. Some House Republicans have said

they would be willing to shut down the federal government to keep the Save Act in the spending bill.

Seeking to avert a shutdown which would occur if the House can't approve a spending bill by September 30th,

as the new fiscal year starts October 1st,

Johnson delayed the vote on the spending bill to convince conservatives unwilling to vote for it.

Johnson said that we're in the consensus building business here in Congress with small

majorities. The speaker continued that they were having thoughtful conversations,

family conversations within their public in conference and that he believed they would get there.

He said people have concerns about all sorts of things that's how the process works and sometimes it takes a little more time.

On truth social, former President Donald Trump

called for the Save Act to be in the spending bill. He said, if Republicans in the

House and Senate don't get absolute assurances on election security, in all caps, they

should in no way shape or form go forward with a continuing resolution on the

budget. Trump continued, the Democrats are trying to quote-unquote on the

Democrats are trying to quote unquote stuff voter registrations with illegal immigrants

Don't let it happen close it down
