Election Integrity Bill Advances | What Happens to Lindsey Graham’s Campaign Money? (Ep 791)
byJoey Hudson
Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson
Today’s show covers major action in Congress on election integrity, a new national political poll, legislation targeting congressional stock trading, and an important question following the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham.
House Speaker Mike Johnson moved a key election integrity proposal one step closer to passage by advancing legislation that includes voter eligibility provisions through the budget reconciliation process. We’ll explain how the strategy works, why Republicans believe it can succeed, and why Democrats strongly oppose it.
Also today, a new Fox News poll finds many voters want significant political and economic change, while President Donald Trump receives some of his lowest job approval numbers in that survey. We’ll look at what the poll found, what issues voters say matter most, and how both parties may respond.
The House also passed the Stop Insider Trading Act, approving a broad package that would restrict stock trading by members of Congress and their spouses while pairing the legislation with a voter identification provision. The bill passed 232-198, with every Republican voting in favor and 13 Democrats joining them. We’ll examine what the legislation would do and what happens next in the Senate.
Finally, after Senator Lindsey Graham’s passing, many South Carolinians are asking what happens to the millions of dollars that remained in his campaign account. We’ll explain what federal campaign finance law allows, who controls campaign committees after a candidate’s death, and the possible legal paths for remaining campaign funds.
