"House Republicans passed a continuing resolution to fund the government through Nov. 21, but on Tuesday, the measure failed to garner the requisite 60 votes to overcome a key procedural hurdle. Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wants Republicans to agree to extend Covid-era healthcare premium subsidies under Obamacare, which are set to expire on Dec. 31. Republicans have balked so far."
"It's a nightmare and it's always the nightmare before Christmas, Ingraham said of congressional sausage-making. It's always up until then. Speaker Johnson, you have a very, very narrow majority. On a scale of 1-10, how likely is it that the Republicans build on this very slim majority next year? We're gonna win the midterms, Johnson predicted. Absolutely. We're gonna have a big victory. And I think we can expand that majority so we can keep going. We have to give President Trump four years."
Mike Johnson warned that Democrats would likely pursue another impeachment of Donald Trump if they retake the House. He appeared on Fox News hours before a potential federal government shutdown and defended a continuing resolution that would fund the government through Nov. 21. The measure failed to secure 60 votes to clear a Senate procedural hurdle. Chuck Schumer urged extension of Covid-era Obamacare premium subsidies that expire Dec. 31, which Republicans have resisted. Johnson said appropriators need time, noting 12 House appropriations bills completed in committee and Senate work underway. Johnson predicted Republican midterm gains and emphasized giving Trump four years.
