Wednesday night’s vote also showed that former President Trump is intent on forcing a government shutdown, as are other Republicans unwilling to work with Speaker Johnson.

The U.S. House, including 14 Republicans, voted down a six-month GOP government funding plan Wednesday, as Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., tries to avert a shutdown at the end of the month.

The House is scheduled to vote Wednesday on Speaker Mike Johnson's proposal that links the funding of the federal government for the new budget year with a mandate that states require proof of citizenship when people register to vote.

House Republicans are expected to derail their own plan to avert a government shutdown, which they've tied to a Donald Trump-backed bill on noncitizen voting.

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) government funding bill was sunk through the combined efforts of Democrats and Republicans in the lower chamber on Wednesday. Fourteen members of Johnson’s own party voted alongside most Democrats against the Louisiana Republican’s spending plan,

Johnson previously scrapped a vote on the bill last week to spend the weekend rounding up support from hesitant members of his caucus. He also attached the SAVE Act to the legislation, which would prohibit states from registering non-citizens as voters—something Johnson himself has admitted is already illegal under federal law.
