House Speaker Mike Johnson Scraps Plan For Government Funding, Voter Fraud Bill
HuffPost
The legislation was headed for defeat amid opposition from Republicans in the latest embarrassment for Johnson.
WASHINGTON ― House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has abandoned his plan for the House to vote on legislation pairing government funding and new measures to counter a phantom voter fraud threat.
Johnson had scheduled a vote for Wednesday afternoon even though members of his own party opposed the plan and it appeared doomed.
Hours before the roll call, Johnson announced a change of plans.
“No vote today, because we’re in the consensus-building business here in Congress,” Johnson told reporters. “With small majorities, that’s what you do.”
Johnson said Republicans would “work through the weekend” on their plan even though they had just returned from a six-week recess.
