House Speaker Mike Johnson will move ahead with a temporary spending bill that would prevent a partial government shutdown when the new budget year begins on Oct. 1, despite the headwinds that prompted him to pull the bill from consideration last week.

House Speaker Mike Johnson pulled his six-month government funding patch from a planned vote Wednesday because not enough Republicans would support it.

With the election looming and another government funding deadline just around the corner , the speaker must find a way in the next several days to both govern for the country, avoid a shutdown that could cost his members in swing districts and keep the right flank of his party pacified enough to not imperil his own political future.
