His\u200d remarks come\u2062 amid fears\u2064 that Democratic lawmakers may refuse to support funding efforts, potentially leading to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/goya-ceo-if-we-shut-down-this-economy-its-the-beginning-of-the-end\/\" title=\"Goya CEO: If We Shut Down This Economy, It\u2019s The \u201cBeginning Of The End\u201d\">government shutdown<\/a>.

He emphasized the necessity to act quickly, \u200bespecially to ensure funding for border security, \u200dhighlighting that failure to advance the bill this week would further delay progress. While \u200dJohnson initially indicated that \u200bthe House \u200bGOP was united on the budget, he later revised the timeline for a\u200c reconciliation bill to March \u206214, reflecting ongoing complexities within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/timeline-andrew-cuomos-scandalous-covid-19-response\/\" title=\"Timeline: Andrew Cuomo\u2019s Scandalous COVID-19 Response\">budget negotiations<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Andy Harris worries GOP is &lsquo;weeks behind&rsquo; on spending bill<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1989895\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3157795\/house-freedom-caucus-picks-andy-harris-replace-bob-good-chairman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Andy Harris\">Andy Harris<\/a> (R-MD) said he was &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-senators-had-to-chase-kimberly-cheatle-during-rnc\/\" title=\"GOP Senators had to chase Kimberly Cheatle during RNC\">disappointed&#038;rdquo<\/a>; with the <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/house-gop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">House<\/a> budget proposal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>This came amid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3315243\/mike-johnson-flailing-democratic-lawmakers-threatening-cr-fight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"rumblings\">rumblings<\/a> that Democratic lawmakers are going to hold out on voting in Republican&rsquo;s favor to fund the government and prompt a government shutdown.
