Senate Has Funding Bill After House Passage
The Senate will need to pass a huge funding bill before midnight Friday to avert a government shutdown. The House passed the bill, which includes healthcare funding, on a vote of 286-to-134 (112 Republicans and 22 Democrats voted against the bill). One conservative House member has called for the ouster of House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-LA, who hails from the Freedom Caucus. She says she has support from folks, but the caucus and some Democrats do not want to see more chaos. The GOP hold on the House will be razor-thin with two early retirements.
