House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) must once again wrangle his conference to support some sort of spending legislation or risk a lapse in federal funding with less than two weeks until a scheduled government shutdown. 

Johnson will move forward with putting his original continuing resolution up for a vote on Wednesday despite pulling the bill from consideration last week due to a lack of support among his own party. However, the speaker said he would move forward anyway — even without a backup plan if his proposal falls through.
