WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans will aim to head-off a potential government shutdown before this fall’s critical midterm elections with a vote Tuesday to fund the federal government through Dec. 4.
The deadline for action is more than two months away, but House GOP leaders are not leaving to chance that a possible shutdown sours the mood of voters. House Speaker Mike Johnson is daring Democrats to vote against the bill, and if they do, “then they alone are going to own the chaos that ensues if the government shuts down after September 30.”
