Johnson to sidestep GOP rebels on government funding, seek Dem support to avoid shutdown
Fox News
House Speaker Mike Johnson is poised to seek Democratic help to pass his government funding plan after a conservative rebellion derailed his initial measure.
Normally, a bill would have to advance through the House Rules Committee and then receive a House-wide procedural vote, known as a "rule vote," before lawmakers decide on the measure itself.
