Speaker Johnson's government funding strategy is on life support as defections mount

House Speaker Mike Johnson dared to associate a Republican’s short-term government funding bill with a Donald Trump initiative to reform the laws on voting only to see the plan in its death throes on Monday as a group of conservative hardliners threatened to reject the package. 
 
The only way forward in the absence of another Continuing Appropriations measure is to empty the Treasury and close the Federal Government at the end of the month. 
 
Due to the fact that GOP only has a slender majority in the house, Johnson, R-La. , can afford four Republicans to defect if all members are allowed to vote. At least five Republicans — Cory Mills, of Florida; Matt Rosendale, of Montana; Tim Burchett, of Tennessee; Jim Banks, of Indiana; and Thomas Massie, of Kentucky — say they wouldn’t support the Johnson plan to avert a government shutdown on Sept. 30. 
 
A good number of other respondents answered saying that they had no preference between the two candidates. 
 
Johnson said he would like to see this as part of a six-month continuing resolution, or CR save act was legislation which was championed by former president Donald Trump and is an attempt to alter the vote across the United States of America by insisting on a form of proof of citizenship to vote. Trump has urged congressional Republicans attempt at passing the Save Act, which Democrats, who control the Senate and presidency, are against or risk shutting down the government. 
 
Mills criticized Johnson’s approach as the farce and added that it would not help to address the issue of the undocumented immigrants in the southern border. 
 
“If we can’t shut the border down, I’m in favor of shutting the government down,” Mills told reporters. 
 
Rosendale said, ‘I have not voted a CR since I got here and I will not start it. ’ 

It shrugged off any concerns that a shutdown could turn into a disaster for Republicans, explaining that he does not believe in the existence of a shutdown, after all. 
 
Asked whether his CR plan could pass the House, Johnson replied: Said Shea. “We’ll find out. ” 
 
The pattern of desertion continued to rise with a bitter intValue for the Republicans in particular as legislatures were back in the Capitol after their six-week recess. 
 
It was Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N. Y. ’s, also known as the Johnson plan, are deep into Senate and is DOA, and Biden has threatened to veto the package if it ever reaches his desk. 
 
But with the GOP plan going down to defeat in the house, the Democrats might not feel the necessity to kill it. What they want now is a “clean CR” which means passing a temporary funding bill that does not contain any riders. 
 
The House Republican CR is simply unserious. It’s pure partisan posturing, Schumer said in a floor speech Monday. “I again raised the point that Democrats will try to avoid a Republican cuts-focused shutdown as much as possible, and immediately began work on a bipartisan continuing resolution that will keep the government open after September 30, 2013. If there are any riders that will not help this goal should be removed. ” 
 
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md. John Boehner, the speaker of the House of Representatives and freshmen lawmakers of the Republican Party expected the spending cuts but warned that Republicans will suffer if they are to close down the government. 
 
“I only hope that the Republicans have learned their lesson when after they shut down the government they are going to lose,” Raskin said. “Shutting down the government is an incredibly reckless and irresponsible and suicidal thing to do … And Donald Trump is egging them on to do it. ”
