House Speaker Johnson Halts Vote on Government Funding Bill Amid GOP Disunity

The bill, which includes a controversial voter-ID provision, faces opposition from both parties, risking a potential government shutdown.

• House Speaker Mike Johnson canceled a vote on a short-term government funding bill due to lack of support within the Republican Party.
• The proposed bill would extend government funding to March 28 and includes a provision requiring proof of citizenship to vote, a measure backed by former President Trump.
• Democrats oppose the bill, citing unnecessary voter-ID requirements and budget cuts that would harm various federal programs.
• The Democratic-controlled Senate and the White House have indicated they would reject the bill in its current form, with President Biden threatening a veto.
• Johnson aims to build consensus within the GOP over the weekend, but the delay heightens the risk of a government shutdown if a resolution is not reached by September 30.
