Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., told Newsmax on Thursday that he “will not support a continuing resolution” as Republicans struggle to achieve a unified front in their battle to pass a spending bill.
Earlier Thursday, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., pulled a funding bill that had attached an election integrity measure designed to keep noncitizens from voting in federal elections. While Steube noted that the SAVE Act has already passed the House, he told Newsmax that he has “never voted for a continuing resolution.”
“Why do we want to continue the same funding levels that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer put in place during the COVID time? We’re now at $36 trillion in debt.

And we haven’t cut a dime,” Steube said on “Newsline.”
