Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is signaling she will vote to reopen the House floor Tuesday after a weekslong power struggle with Speaker Mike Johnson over a partisan election security bill known as the SAVE America Act.

In an X post Monday night, the Florida Republican suggested she would support a procedural rule that will finally allow the chamber to consider legislation, including a bill to fund the State Department and a measure to make daylight saving time permanent — a major priority for her home state as well as for President Donald Trump.

Luna said she would do so now “on the condition that Speaker Johnson attaches the SAVE America Act and all appropriation bills and all must-pass bills here in the House and ensures it is sent to the Senate in one bill.”

Johnson has, in fact, committed to facilitating a process this week that would attach the GOP election bill to the State Department funding package, which Luna and other Republicans believe will force the Senate into submission.
