Speaker Mike Johnson turned to Democrats on Wednesday to help pass a stopgap funding bill amid GOP defections, and the House voted to avert a government shutdown.
The bill, which must now pass the Senate, will fund the government until December 20, setting up a chaotic, high-stakes fight over spending at the end of the year. The political landscape will be vastly altered by that time in the wake of the November elections, and Congress will be facing major deadlines not only on funding, but other key priorities as well. The outcome of the elections will determine how strong, or weak, a hand Johnson will have to play in spending talks.
That’s in part because of Johnson’s existing relationships with his conference, which he has worked to maintain even as he pushes a bill unpopular with his conference. The day after Johnson’s leadership team unveiled the plan, the speaker personally attended a meeting of the House Freedom Caucus to discuss his lack of other options to keep the government open, according to a person familiar with the matter.
