He favors extending the deadline to January to avoid the rush and risk that come with end-of-year funding battles. This comes as the government shutdown approaches the longest in history. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) is open to extending the funding deadline and passing some appropriations bills to keep parts of the government funded. Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is willing to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >extend short-term funding<\/a> to start negotiations on healthcare demands. Despite efforts, the House&#8217;s November 21 funding deadline has failed multiple times in the Senate due to the filibuster threshold, making an extension into january likely to allow more time to resolve appropriations.  <\/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\">Johnson prefers January spending bill and wants to avoid Christmas omnibus &lsquo;PTSD&rsquo;<\/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\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2391123\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>House <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mike-johnson\/\">Speaker Mike Johnson<\/a> (R-LA) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/study-casts-doubt-on-pro-abortion-talking-point\/\" title=\"Study Casts Doubt on Pro-Abortion Talking Point\">threw cold water<\/a> on a possible new Dec. 19 funding deadline proposed by <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/senate\/\">Senate<\/a> Appropriations Committee Chairwoman<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/susan-collins\/\"> Susan Collins <\/a>(R-ME), saying a lot of members have &ldquo;PTSD&rdquo; from <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/christmas\/\">Christmas<\/a> funding deadlines.<\/p>\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/speaker\/\">speaker<\/a> also expressed support for a January deadline as part of a recent effort to reopen the government, while it stands just one day away from being the longest <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/government-shutdown\/\">shutdown<\/a> in history.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/3874243\/gop-leaders-get-ahead-nightmare-election-scenario-not-big-surprise\/\">GOP leaders get ahead of nightmare election scenario: &#8216;Won&#8217;t be a big surprise&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3873980\/watch-live-mike-johnson-press-conference-labor-secretary-lori-chavez-deremer-democrat-shutdown\/\">WATCH LIVE: Mike Johnson holds press conference with labor secretary on &#8216;Democrat&#8217; shutdown<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3873608\/pelosi-address-retirement-rumors-election-day\/\">Pelosi indicates she will address retirement rumors after Election Day<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;I am not a fan of extending it to December, because let&rsquo;s be frank, a lot of people around here have PTSD about Christmas omnibus spending bills,&rdquo; Johnson said at a Tuesday press conference. &ldquo;We don&rsquo;t want to do that.
