“House GOP leadership scrapped plans for a Wednesday vote on the party’s stopgap funding plan, as its chances of passage sank in recent days amid opposition from defense hawks, hardline conservatives and moderates. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had vowed all week to press forward with a vote on his funding plan — which pairs a six-month continuing resolution (CR) with a Trump-backed bill to require proof of citizenship to vote — even as it became clear he did not have the votes to pass it. But just hours before a planned vote on the measure, leaders pulled it from the floor. … The move by Johnson catapults House GOP leadership back to square one, as they try to craft a conservative stopgap that could pass the House and, in turn, increase their leverage in negotiations with Senate Democrats.” (09/11/24)
