The Mayor, Mike Johnson, formally revealed plans for a provisional government financing measure by September 30 this Saturday (8). The measure is intended to avoid a possible stoppage on March 14.
Johnson expects to vote on the 99-page bill on Tuesday (11), according to people familiar with the plans.
“It’s literally the cleaner CR you can write,” said a republican leadership advisor in the House on Saturday, speaking of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.
“CR” means continuous resolution, the name of a temporary financing measure.
House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries has opposed strongly-preferring a long-term traded agreement-and said Johnson and the Republican Party will need to approve it on their own.
However, a small number of House Democrats has discussed in particular in recent days if they should support the bill.
“If Republicans decide to adopt this approach, as President Johnson indicated, it is his expectation that Republicans will do it alone,” Jeffries told reporters on Friday (7).
Asked later if he believed that Johnson could get the government funding vote next week, Jeffries was straightforward: “No.”
If the short -term financing measure is approved by the House this week, as Johnson expects, this will put pressure on the Senate Democrats to follow the same plane.
