The House rejected a $1.6 trillion spending bill that sought to extend government funding and impose proof-of-citizenship for voter registration, indicating deep partisan divides.
Mr. Johnson insisted, even under pressure, on advancing the citizenship verification bill and claimed that a few noncitizens could seriously influence elections.
Trump urged Republicans to reject any funding plans unless they included strict citizenship checks, alleging widespread illegal voter registration by Democrats, despite a lack of evidence.
The bipartisan opposition to the spending bill highlights significant challenges in governance, with both parties unwilling to compromise on key issues.
