  • Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday succeeded in a high-stakes House vote to pass President Donald Trump's plan to fund the government into the fall, overcoming far-right opposition as the GOP scrambles to avert a government shutdown Friday at midnight.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a temporary funding bill to avert a government shutdown, extending federal funding until November 17, 2023. This bill, which was a victory for House Republicans, includes an 8% cut to domestic programs but maintains funding for defense and veterans. It also incorporates conservative policy wins like border security measures and the establishment of a bipartisan debt commission. However, the bill's passage in the Senate is uncertain due to its controversial provisions, and it notably excludes aid to Ukraine, which has been a point of contention. This move reflects the ongoing internal conflicts within the Republican party, with Speaker Kevin McCarthy navigating between the demands of conservative hardliners and the need for bipartisan support to keep the government running.
