Weakness is not a luxury that the GOP can afford right now.

Last week, nearly all the House Democrats, along with 14 Republicans, voted against a stopgap bill that would have funded the government for another six months and included the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would prevent noncitizens from voting in this coming election by requiring them to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote.
Consequently, as former editor for The Federalist Chris Bedford recently noted, Congress (including several of its GOP members) has “killed the House Republicans’ momentum and leverage” in failing to pass this bill in the House.
