Over a dozen House Republicans joined Democrats on Wednesday in rejecting Speaker Mike Johnson’s six-month government spending bill. The stopgap bill would have tied $1.6 trillion in government funding to a measure requiring states to ask residents for proof of citizenship when registering to vote. Hours before Wednesday’s House vote, Donald Trump called on Republicans to reject any spending package that does not include the voter suppression measure. If no bill is passed before the end of the month, the federal government will shut down October 1, when early voting will be underway for November’s election.
