Johnson's plan to avoid government shutdown goes down in flames as Republicans rebel
Fox News
A bill to avert a partial government shutdown at the end of this month failed along bipartisan lines on Wednesday.
At least nine Republicans voted against House GOP leadership’s bill, a six-month extension of the current year’s federal funding levels coupled with a measure to require proof of citizenship in the voter registration process. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital leading coverage of the House of Representatives. Previous digital bylines seen at Daily Mail and CBS News.
Three Democrats voted in support of the measure – Reps. Jared Golden, D-Maine, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., and Don Davis, D-N.C. Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
The bill began hemorrhaging support soon after Johnson rolled it out during a conference call with House Republicans earlier this month – to the frustration of the majority of the House GOP.
