The House passed a stopgap bill to prevent a government shutdown, with conservatives opposing the spending levels. Republican leaders relied on Democrats' support. However, House Republicans faced setbacks as a band of conservatives tanked a procedural vote to advance an appropriations bill, causing the GOP leadership to cancel votes for the rest of the week. Almost all House Democrats and a majority of Republicans backed the stopgap spending plan. Speaker Mike Johnson's leadership faced challenges as hardline Republicans rebelled, and the House dodged a near shutdown before rolling out of town, highlighting the difficulty GOP leaders face in uniting their group. The Senate later approved the proposal. Speaker Johnson's success in avoiding a shutdown may have just delayed the crisis, as conservative hardliners are now spoiling for a fight.
