Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is eyeing a Wednesday vote on his partisan stopgap proposal, he announced on Tuesday, after he was forced to yank it from the floor amid widespread GOP opposition

House Speaker Mike Johnson will move ahead with a temporary spending bill that would prevent a partial government shutdown when the new budget year begins on Oct. 1, despite the headwinds that prompted him to pull the bill from consideration last week.

The effort has been a pet project of House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and former President Donald Trump. But the legislation has received widespread criticism from Democrats, as non-citizens already can't vote in federal elections.

Speaker Mike Johnson has pulled a vote on a temporary spending bill that would keep federal agencies and programs funded for six months.

The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives will vote on legislation on Wednesday that pairs a must-pass spending bill with tighter voting rules, setting up an election year clash with the Democratic-majority Senate that risks a partial government shutdown.

The House on Wednesday voted down Speaker Mike Johnson's funding plan with 14 Republicans voting against it and two others voting present.

The U.S. House, including 14 Republicans, voted down a six-month GOP government funding plan Wednesday, as Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., tries to avert a shutdown at the end of the month.

House Republicans are expected to derail their own plan to avert a government shutdown, which they've tied to a Donald Trump-backed bill on noncitizen voting.

Next steps on government funding are uncertain. Lawmakers are not close to completing work on the dozen annual appropriations bills that will fund federal agencies during the next fiscal year, so they’ll need to approve a stopgap measure to prevent a partial shutdown when that budget year begins Oct.
