Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Republicans have arrived at a plan C to avert a shutdown and the House will vote Friday morning on the legislation, The Hill reports.
Said Johnson: “Yeah, yeah, we have a plan. We’re expecting votes this morning, so you all stay tuned. We’ve got a plan.”
It’s not clear what’s in Johnson’s plan but Donald Trump late last night reiterated that any plan must eliminate the debt ceiling threat for at last the next four years.
