Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said she would oppose advancing a long-stalled Senate-passed housing bill if it came to the floor, despite President Trump’s push for the House to pass the measure.
Luna, in an interview with The Hill on Tuesday, cited her frustration with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) for not doing more to pass the SAVE America Act, House-passed legislation that would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections and the presentation of an ID to cast a ballot. The bill would require some Democratic support to overcome a filibuster in the Senate, but Senate Democrats have vowed to oppose the measure.
She also pointed to Thune saying that a central bank digital currency (CBDC) ban attached to a measure renewing the government’s warrantless spying powers would be “dead on arrival” in the upper chamber. Luna has pushed for a permanent ban on CBDCs.
