House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) rejected threats that his next funding proposal won’t be supported by Democratic lawmakers in time to avoid a government shutdown.

Johnson was on Fox News Sunday responding to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’s (D-NY) claim that “Republicans haven’t said a single thing to House Democrats” about the impending deadline to fund the government. While the speaker has claimed the House GOP was “united” on issuing a budget reconciliation bill as soon as late February, on Sunday he changed his estimate to March 14, which is the deadline stemming from the last continuing resolution.
