House Republicans unveil stopgap government funding plan

by

Speaker Mike Johnson is rolling out the House GOP’s strategy for a high-stakes government funding fight, teeing up a showdown with Senate Democrats ahead of the Oct. 1 shutdown deadline.

House Republicans on Friday unveiled a stopgap funding bill, also known as a continuing resolution, that will fund the government at largely current levels through March 28. The funding measure includes a GOP proposal to require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections — a measure that former President Donald Trump insisted on but is a non-starter for Senate Democrats.
