House Speaker Mike Johnson has revealed a strategy to prevent a government shutdown in a letter to his members. The plan, termed a limited continuing resolution, aims to fund the government until December 20 and allocate $230 million for Secret Service funding.
Johnson emphasized the importance of passing a clean, three-month CR to avoid a last-minute shutdown before the upcoming election. He expressed concerns that shutting down the government less than 40 days before the election would be detrimental.
