Mike Johnson Pulls Stopgap Funding Bill

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) scrapped plans for a Wednesday vote on the Republican party’s stopgap funding plan, as its chances of passage sank in recent days amid opposition from defense hawks and hardline conservatives, The Hill reports.

Politico: “Unless they can find adjustments to placate detractors, there’s an increasing likelihood that House Republicans will wind up saddled with a three-month stopgap spending bill backed by Democrats and the White House, free of any divisive policy add-ons.”
