House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is holding a press conference with House GOP leadership on Wednesday at 10 a.m.

The briefing comes as Congress pushes to pass all 12 appropriations bills before the partial government shutdown deadline next Friday. The House will have to pass four more spending bills before sending them to the Senate for a final vote on the remaining six spending bills in order to avert the funding lapse.
