Read our privacy policy Speaker of the House Mike Johnson pulled a vote on his temporary spending bill on Wednesday just hours before it was scheduled to head to the floor, citing a lack of agreement by House Republicans. Congress must pass a stopgap spending bill before that day in order to avoid a partial government shutdown – which would occur right before the presidential election. But despite Johnson’s public confidence that he could push ahead with the spending bill vote on Tuesday evening, by Wednesday afternoon it was clear that would not happen. Johnson is facing the pressure of his party as well as former president Donald Trump who, on Tuesday, advocated for a government shutdown if that meant the controversial measure would not be included.
