Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for allegedly excluding conservative voices from discussions regarding the upcoming Sept. 30 government funding deadline, claiming he is trying to avoid controversy ahead of the elections. She expressed her discontent with Johnson&#8217;s focus on gaining support from moderate Republicans and Democrats for a six-month continuing resolution to prevent a government shutdown. In a post on her X congressional account, she stated, &#8220;I found out yesterday that Speaker Johnson is engaging with moderate Republicans in our conference to secure their backing for a six-month CR before the Sept 30th deadline.&#8221; She added that Johnson has not consulted conservatives like herself, who want him to negotiate with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to incorporate their priorities, such as the SAVE Act aimed at election integrity, rather than simply passing another clean continuing resolution based on Democratic budgets. Greene accused Johnson of avoiding conflict before the November elections and emphasized that there are no guarantees for future opportunities: &#8220;Johnson claims we will advance our agenda next Congress after Trump wins BUT there may not be a next time; this is our only chance.&#8221; A spokesperson for Johnson responded by stating that he is consulting various members across the conference rather than focusing solely on one faction and noted that while the House has passed 75% of government funding for FY25, the Senate has yet to act on any appropriations bills. The Freedom Caucus, which includes Greene as a prominent member, released a statement advocating for inclusion of the SAVE Act in any continuing resolution and urging House Republicans to leverage their position against potential Democratic actions that could jeopardize Trump&#8217;s second term bid. If Congress fails to meet the Sept. 30 deadline or pass an extension, it would result in a government shutdown\u2014the first since late 2018 during Trump&#8217;s presidency\u2014leading to significant consequences such as unpaid civilian employees and reduced services in some offices<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2323849,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/MTG-RNC.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[38020,34653,34218,5894,32076],"class_list":["post-2323848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-budget-negotiations","tag-marjorie-taylor-greene","tag-mike-johnson","tag-politics","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/MTG-RNC.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2323848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2323848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2323848\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2323849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2323848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2323848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2323848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
