This stopgap,planned for House approval next week before members\u2019 recess,aims to fund government operations until December 4. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced plans to pass a continuing resolution next Thursday amid a busy legislative schedule, including a party-line budget resolution and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-stays-out-of-congressional-stock-trading-debate\/\" title=\"Biden Stays Out of Congressional Stock Trading Debate\u00a0\">congressional stock trading ban<\/a>. The measure seeks to prevent the politically costly shutdowns experienced previously, including a record 43-day full shutdown last November and a 76-day partial shutdown last spring. Johnson faces challenges garnering support from fiscal hawks for the funding patch and the budget resolution, which has a $95 billion spending limit without offsets, a contentious point. With only four legislative days before recess, lawmakers have limited time to pass necessary measures, including efforts to stabilize border policies and othre priorities, after recent partisan disagreements and canceled votes.  <\/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<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/republicans\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"240\">Republicans<\/a> released a spending patch on Friday that would extend funding for the federal <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/government\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1315\">government<\/a> until December.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/rules.house.gov\/sites\/evo-subsites\/republicans-rules.house.gov\/files\/documents\/fy-2027_xml.pdf\">stopgap measure<\/a>, expected to be taken up by the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/section\/news\/house\/\" type=\"category\" id=\"1250\">House<\/a> next week before members leave for a monthlong recess, comes ahead of a Sept. 30 deadline to fund the government or risk a shutdown. <\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4653666\/house-republicans-spending-stopgap-avert-shutdown-through-december\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>House Republicans release spending stopgap to avert shutdown through December<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4652289\/california-sues-five-cities-housing-plans-pressure-campaign\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>California sues five cities over lack of housing plans<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4652097\/don-lemon-president-2028-speculation\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Don Lemon says he\u2019s \u2018totally serious\u2019 that he would be \u2018a really good president\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Speaker <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mike-johnson\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"7043\">Mike Johnson<\/a> (R-LA) confirmed plans that GOP leadership would attempt to pass a continuing resolution next week on Thursday, adding to Republicans\u2019 already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/johnson-caps-chaotic-week-with-major-wins-despite-gop-infighting\/\" title=\"Johnson caps chaotic ... with major wins despite GOP infighting\">jam-packed legislative week<\/a> that will see the House vote on a budget resolution for a party-line spending bill and a congressional stock trading ban. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The measure would extend funding until Dec. 4, allowing Republicans to avoid a government shutdown ahead of the November <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2026-election\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"11675\">midterm elections<\/a>.
