House Speaker Johnson axes Trump voting restrictions in new government funding bill - eviltoast
Congressional Democrats and Republicans have eight days to strike a funding deal before the government goes into a partial shutdown.
  • Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson announced a new temporary government funding proposal with key amendments from the original bill he put forward earlier this month.
  • The new proposal goes against Donald Trump’s wishes and makes some concessions to Democrats.
  • The new bill would fund the government through Dec. 20 and does not include any part of the SAVE Act, the Trump-backed election security proposal that would require people to show proof of citizenship to register as a voter.
  • The previous version of Johnson’s bill, which Trump preferred, was attached to the SAVE Act and would have funded the government through March 2025.
