Johnson unveils new plan to avoid shutdown amid tension in GOP, scraps Trump-backed election measure
Fox News
House Speaker Mike Johnson is releasing a new plan to avoid a government shutdown after a group of lawmakers in his own conference derailed his initial push.
The new measure, closer in line with what Senate Democrats and the White House had called for than his first plan, is likely to spark fury among the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus and its allies. But most Republicans are wary of the backlash of a potential government shutdown just weeks before Election Day.
