U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson's two-step plan to avert a government shutdown, which excludes additional funding for Ukraine and Israel, has received bipartisan support. The proposal, designed to temporarily fund southern border security, American transport, energy, and military construction, has faced criticism but has also been endorsed by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. The Senate has delayed its vote to allow the House to act first. The House Republican leadership has been reaching out across the aisle to assess potential support for the interim spending bill. However, Rand Paul has not ruled out delaying the government shutdown vote. The exclusion of aid to Kyiv and the race to avoid a government shutdown by Friday remain pressing concerns.
1) Fox has learned there has been outreach across the aisle between the House Republican and Democratic leadership brass to see how many votes each side can provide to adopt a two-step interim spending bill offered by Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA).
