House Speaker Mike Johnson faces the tough challenge of negotiating a continuing resolution to keep the federal government open as Congress approaches its holiday recess.
With a looming December 20 deadline, negotiations for a continuing resolution are critical, as Republicans and Democrats navigate a tight funding agreement amid party tensions.
The current time crunch stems from earlier delays in September; Speaker Johnson had to negotiate with Democrats after failing to secure Republican consensus on their proposed provisions.
Johnson has indicated that negotiators are 'very close' to finalizing the continuing resolution, with possible text release set for Sunday, showcasing bipartisan cooperation.
