House Speaker Mike Johnson schedules vote on stopgap bill to avoid government shutdown
The proposed measure aims to extend federal funding through December 11, pushing the next budget deadline past the upcoming midterm elections. House Speaker Mike Johnson is bringing the stopgap funding bill to a floor vote as the current fiscal deadline approaches. While leadership seeks to prevent a government shutdown, a group of House Republicans is threatening to block floor business in protest of the legislation. The legislation would maintain current spending levels for several months to ensure federal agencies remain operational during the campaign season. This move follows reports that House lawmakers are returning to Washington specifically to address the funding gap. Resistance from hard-line members remains a significant hurdle for the stopgap measure to extend federal government funding.
