WASHINGTON — House Speaker Mike Johnson’s strategy to tie a short-term government funding bill to a Donald Trump-backed proposal to overhaul voting laws was on life support Monday after a band of conservative rebels vowed to vote no on the package.
Without a stopgap funding bill, money will run out and the federal government will shut down at the end of the month.
Because of the GOP’s razor-thin majority, Johnson, R-La., can afford only four Republican defections if all members vote.
Mills slammed Johnson's strategy as a “farce” and said it would do nothing to secure the southern border.
Instead, they are pushing for a "clean CR" — short-term funding with nothing attached to it.
