Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) faces a daunting task of rallying his Republican conference, swaying holdouts, and bringing a short-term spending bill to the floor by the end of this week, ahead of a government shutdown.
Republicans released bill text for the continuing resolution on Tuesday. Under the 72-hour rule, this would put the legislation up for a vote on Friday afternoon. But with Congress set to go on a weeklong recess for Rosh Hashanah next week, and a deadline of Sept. 30, the speaker is looking to push the vote up to Thursday.
