The House is expected to vote Wednesday to pass a government funding extension with Speaker Mike Johnson once again poised to rely on a substantial number of votes from Democrats to get the bill over the finish line.

House Speaker Mike Johnson called his funding deal with congressional Democrats “the last available play” before the Sept. 30 deadline to keep the government open.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is poised to seek Democratic help to pass his government funding plan after a conservative rebellion derailed his initial measure.
