Speaker Mike Johnson has scheduled a Wednesday vote on a six-month GOP government funding plan that is anticipated to fail. The Louisiana Republican is facing pressure to demonstrate that the bill cannot pass before moving on to the next step.
Last week, Johnson had to withdraw the bill, which includes a controversial measure targeting non-citizen voting, from the floor due to significant opposition within his own party. Conservatives and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump have been urging action on election security, with Trump casting doubts on election integrity leading up to the 2024 elections.
