Johnson&#8217;s proposal to prevent a government shutdown has garnered backing from Democratic leaders in Congress, suggesting it may succeed despite potential delays from hardline GOP members. The legislation set for consideration this week aims to fund the federal government until December 20 without any additional measures attached, following unsuccessful attempts by House Republicans to link election integrity legislation to the temporary funding bill. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) expressed satisfaction with the bipartisan agreement but cautioned that delays could jeopardize its success if both parties do not collaborate effectively. He emphasized that while he is glad negotiations led to a clean funding agreement, it could have been reached earlier had Speaker Johnson not followed a more extreme approach. Schumer stressed the urgency of finalizing the continuing resolution (CR) before the September 30 deadline and highlighted that bipartisan cooperation is essential for timely completion.<\/p>\n<p>In order for the stopgap measure to advance in the House, it must first pass through the Rules Committee on Monday, where three hard-right Republicans might pose challenges and necessitate either a floor vote or passage under special rules. Some Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, have advocated for including election integrity legislation in conjunction with this stopgap measure but are now facing time constraints as they move forward without it\u2014potentially causing dissent within their ranks. Representatives Thomas Massie (R-KY), Chip Roy (R-TX), and Ralph Norman (R-SC) have previously opposed significant measures and could influence committee votes against this stopgap if Democrats also choose to oppose it.<\/p>\n<p>However, Republican leadership seems poised to secure enough Democratic support for passage. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) indicated his backing of the proposal on Sunday, stating that Congress is taking bipartisan steps toward preventing a government shutdown that would negatively impact ordinary Americans. This effort comes as Republicans are expected to regain control of the Senate in upcoming elections while control of the House remains uncertain. If approved, discussions regarding future funding bills through fiscal year 2025 will take place after November elections determine congressional control<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2638,"featured_media":2344721,"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\/09\/democrats-house-spending-proposal-sept-2024.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3685,6203,4162,39835,32076],"class_list":["post-2344720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-democrats","tag-gop","tag-johnson","tag-spending-proposal","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/democrats-house-spending-proposal-sept-2024.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2344720","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\/2638"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2344720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2344720\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2344721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2344720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2344720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2344720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
