House to vote on Mike Johnson's spending plan to avoid a government shutdown

House Speaker Mike Johnson says he is confident about a vote on his proposal to avoid a government shutdown. The Senate will likely block the plan if it passes in the House of Representatives. CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane explains why.

It's up to Trump.
He runs the House through Johnson.

If Johnson was serious about funding the government, he would just bring up a clean bill instead of the song and dance and pointing fingers.

We’re not listening to Mikey, we know that Trump once again told you not to pass a budget. And we know that you’re so afraid Trump that you’re going to hold out. Once again we find ourselves right back where we were. Republicans cannot rule. What we’ve been faced with every time is chaos and dysfunction.

It's illegal for non-citizens to vote, but let's add this proposal so that people with a right to vote will have to jump through hoops.

[feanacar]

Go ahead shut down the government let’s see how it goes for you politically. Aren’t you up for reelection right now Johnson?
If not, when you are, I’ll bet you go bye-bye

[TheRealRoronoaZoro]

He said the quarterback is calling the play in his analogy. I’m presuming he meant trump as the QB but isn’t he Speaker? Isn’t that a leadership position? Why do we have a sock puppet taking orders from a candidate? 💙💃🏾💙🇺🇸

[nateh]

Whatever. Trump runs the House anyway. Let's cut through all of this BS and call Mar-a-Lago so that he can tell us what he wants to do. Thanks.

[billpool]

I love how the majority party is blaming the minority party for not passing bills.
