Speaker of the House Mike Johnson says he'll likely pursue a plan B after the House rejected a bill to temporarily fund the government. But it's unclear exactly what that new plan would look like.The funding bill that failed Wednesday was attached to a mandate that states require proof of citizenship when people register to vote.14 Republicans and all but three Democrats voted against the bill.
And that is you need a bipartisan agreement to get things done,' Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Thursday morning. 'And hopefully Speaker Johnson will learn that. By trying the partisan route, he's flopped.''We have filed today and if the House can't get its act together, we're prepared to move forward,' Schumer said of the Senate majority's plans.
