US House passes GOP funding bill to avoid government shutdown
Wednesday, 15 November 2023 The successful passage of the bill marks a significant legislative test for Speaker Mike Johnson, who assumed the role less than a month ago following the removal of ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
House Speaker Mike Johnson presented his proposal on Saturday to avert a partial government shutdown by extending funding for certain agencies and programs until Jan. 19, while continuing funding for others until Feb. 2.
The House passes a plan to avoid a government shutdown. The bill is being met with mixed reactions from Republicans after only passing with the help of Democrats.
