Mike Johnson Eyes Wednesday Vote as Shutdown End in Sight Near
Rep. Mike Johnson is setting his sights on a mid-December vote to potentially end the government shutdown, which has dragged on for weeks; a deal could be reached by the end of the week.
House Republican Whip Mike Johnson is aiming to secure enough votes for a potential floor vote on Wednesday, as he believes lawmakers can come together to end a government shutdown without significant concessions from Democrats. The push for a resolution is gaining momentum as the clock ticks down on the current funding deadline. A successful outcome could see the shutdown lifted and the government reopening without major disruptions. However, Democrats remain resistant to agreeing on key spending priorities.
