House Republican leadership is in a race against time to finalize some sort of spending deal before the clock strikes midnight and a government shutdown is scheduled to take place, halting funding for several government agencies. 

GOP leaders met behind closed doors on Thursday night after their latest funding bill failed to pass the lower chamber due to objections from House Democrats and over 30 members of the Republican conference. Now, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) must return to the drawing board to craft some sort of spending agreement that can appease his right flank while also gaining the approval of President-elect Donald Trump.
