Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) has discussed a potential solution with Speaker Mike Johnson over her push to allow proxy voting for new parents, the congresswoman said in a post on X.

“[Johnson] has called me after POTUS statement and we discussed limiting the vote to just new moms who cannot physically travel in event of emergency,” Luna said in the post. “This is smart.”

President Donald Trump told reporters earlier on Thursday that he endorsed letting new mothers vote by proxy in the House — but ultimately said it was Johnson’s decision. Luna had forced a vote on the issue, which tanked the rest of Johnson’s legislative plans for the week after an attempt to stop her effort through a rule vote.

“I don’t know why it’s controversial,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Thursday, according to a pool report. He added, “I’m going to let the speaker make the decision, but I like the idea.”

Johnson, a former constitutional lawyer facing, is pressure from conservative hard-liners to stop Luna and has argued the practice is unconstitutional. Moments before Luna’s tweet, Johnson shared an op-ed from the Washington Times in opposition to expanding proxy voting in a post on X that has since been deleted.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), one conservative hard-liner against allowing new parents to vote by proxy, responded to Luna’s update that the possible solution is still “unconstitutional” and “wrong” in a post on X.

President Donald Trump endorsed Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s (R-Fla.) resolution to allow proxy voting for expectant mothers in Congress — but signaled he isn’t interested in going to the mat for the change.

“I don’t know why it’s controversial,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Thursday, according to a pool report.

The support for Luna’s push comes after Trump spoke with the member of Congress on Wednesday. Luna told NewsNation Wednesday that “the president assured that this would get resolved.”

The proxy vote fight has stalled Speaker Mike Johnson’s ambitious plan to pass the “big, beautiful” budget bill, after a handful of Republicans joined Democrats to reject Johnson’s moves to block Luna’s proposal. Johnson repeated his opposition on Wednesday, but said there “may be a path” to get the House unjammed.

Trump said Thursday that he’s in favor of the resolution. But he stressed that the decision rests with Johnson.

“I’m going to let the speaker make the decision, but I like the idea,” Trump added.

After successfully engineering a rare rebuke of President Donald Trump, Senate Democrats want to do it again: They’re eyeing a new measure that could splinter Republicans and potentially undo the sweeping tariffs Trump rolled out Wednesday.

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who led the push to undo Trump’s Canada tariffs that won approval Wednesday, said it was “likely” that Democrats would move forward with legislation taking aim at the new, more sweeping levies. The vote, he said, wouldn’t occur until after the Senate returns from a two-week recess slated to start on April 11.

One of the laws Trump used to levy the latest tariffs, the National Emergencies Act, allows Congress to quickly debate and vote on a disapproval resolution that would effectively cancel the tariffs. But actually doing so faces major obstacles: Not only would the Senate have to act, but the GOP-controlled House would have to approve the same measure. Trump could then still veto it, forcing a two-thirds-majority override vote.

Democrats are still poring through Trump’s latest round of sweeping tariffs to determine which ones they could potentially target for cancellation. But Kaine said he believed support for rolling back the new tariffs will only grow with time. Four Republicans joined Democrats on Wednesday’s vote, and he predicted a “larger universe” of support for the forthcoming measure.

“I think people need to go home and hear what their constituents are telling them, so I think having it timed so that it comes up over recess is the right time,” Kaine said.

Separately, Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York — the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee — said Wednesday he would introduce a similar measure. Speaker Mike Johnson led an effort to block a vote on a Meeks-led disapproval resolution targeting the Canada tariffs last month and could do so again for the new round of tariffs.
