Speaker Johnson's Showdown: Financial Disclosures, Votes, and House Control

Speaker Mike Johnson warns of a potential impasse on government funding if the Democrat-controlled House tries to force the House GOP to bring dense multi-subject spending bills to the floor. The House has passed five of the 12 individual spending bills, while none have come for a vote in the Senate. Senate appropriators announced a bipartisan deal to combine three spending bills into a "minibus." Johnson emphasizes the need for regular order and separate appropriations bills, opposing omnibus and minibus bills. The current funding expires on November 17, and discussions on a short-term spending bill are ongoing. House Republicans are looking to pass three spending bills this week.
