House lawmakers on Tuesday passed a Republican proposal to temporarily extend government funding and avoid a partial shutdown ahead of Thanksgiving. But newly elected Speaker Mike Johnson had to rely on support from Democrats to pass the bill after facing resistance from hard-right conservatives within his own party—a similar scenario to the one that led to his predecessor Kevin McCarthy being booted from the speakership. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The short-term proposal passed by a vote of 336 to 95, with all but two Democrats voting in favor of the plan, which would extend government funding at current levels for some federal agencies until mid-January and others until early February.
