On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced that he will move forward with a bipartisan funding bill to avert a potential government shutdown, as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) struggled to pass a six-month stopgap measure tied to voter registration reforms.
With government funding set to expire on September 30, Schumer stated that the Senate may need to take the lead on advancing a funding measure, despite the usual protocol where spending bills originate in the House.
“Later today, I’ll file cloture on a legislative vehicle that will enable us to prevent a Trump shutdown,” Schumer said, referencing former President Trump’s push for stricter voter registration rules as a condition for avoiding the shutdown.
Johnson’s proposed funding plan, which included a requirement for proof of citizenship to register to vote, failed in the House with 14 Republicans joining Democrats to block the measure.
