"House Conservatives Consider Yearlong Spending Stopgap to Avert Shutdown"

Speaker Mike Johnson revealed a plan to prevent a government shutdown next week by proposing a vote on four separate appropriations bills and potentially needing a stopgap funding bill to buy more time. Despite this strategy, concerns about a possible shutdown persist due to Congress's tight schedule and differences in the appropriations bills. Johnson opposes a year-long stopgap bill and expressed concerns about the GOP's negotiating position with the Democratic-led Senate.
