House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has promised his Republican colleagues they will not advance an omnibus spending bill at the end of this year, vowing to break the cycle of passing a massive spending proposal right before Christmas to avoid a government shutdown. 

The House is set to vote on a three-month continuing resolution this week to extend government funding levels until Dec. 20, much to the dismay of hard-line Republicans who oppose advancing any sort of stopgap spending deal. In return, Johnson is promising his right flank that the CR is only temporary, noting the only spending bills he wants to pass for the remainder of the year are the 12 individual appropriations bills.
