US EditionHouse Republicans Stop Votes During Government Shutdown
House Republicans insist the Senate must act first on funding amid a 30-day government shutdown and 14 Senate rejections of the House continuing resolution, Speaker Johnson said.
- Wednesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson declined to reconvene the House of Representatives, calling it a futile exercise before the Senate acts, at his daily press conference in Washington, D.C.
- After passing a temporary continuing resolution through Nov. 21, House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled he might let the deadline pass, saying `It was calculated to allow enough time to finish the job`.
- Even if the House passed another CR today, lawmakers warned finishing full-year appropriations will grow harder hour by hour, while Johnson criticized reporters for focusing on the House calendar over hardships faced by the American public.
- Some House Republicans privately questioned the strategy as a handful of GOP lawmakers expressed skepticism about keeping members out of DC on a private Tuesday call, while Democrats argued the House could draft full-year appropriations and criticized the recess decision.
- With the Senate failing to pass the House CR repeatedly, the Senate failed for the 14th time this week to pass the House's continuing resolution, and Johnson said last week they're taking timing 'day-by-day'.
