House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries expressed confusion over Johnson's decision, stating, "I have no idea" if there's a strategy behind reviving the funding bill after previous pullback.
Rep. Steve Womack offered a colorful analogy regarding Johnson's repeated attempts, saying, "There's an old saying in Arkansas that you don't learn nothing the second time you get kicked in the head by a mule."
Despite some GOP optimism, Rep. Troy Nehls questioned Johnson's approach, noting, "I don't know how he thinks it's going to pass ... where are the votes coming from?"
Johnson defends his renewed effort by asserting, "Congress has an immediate obligation to ... fund the federal government and ensure the security of our elections," highlighting a duty to constituents.
