1 Week Left To Avoid Shutdown.
Speaker Johnson
“The looming government shutdown set to begin Saturday presents the first major test of Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) ability to work with new Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).
Johnson on Saturday introduced a two-step continuing resolution (CR) to prevent a shutdown. It would extend funding for parts of the government through Jan. 19 and other federal programs until Feb. 2, and it is intended to allow lawmakers time to negotiate 12 full-year spending bills.”
