House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing for a vote on a six-month stopgap funding bill, linked to a Republican-backed proposal requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration, amid rising opposition from within his party. With a narrow majority, Johnson faces significant challenges as approximately 10 GOP members are expected to oppose the bill, which has already been criticized by figures like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. The legislation aims to prevent a government shutdown on October 1 but is unlikely to pass in the Senate, where Democrats control the agenda. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has stated that bipartisan cooperation is essential to avoid a shutdown, calling Johnson's strategy a 'dead end.' Johnson insists that the bill reflects the demand to secure voting integrity, despite the low chances of passage and potential veto from President Biden. The opposition raises questions about whether Johnson will need to collaborate with Democrats for a viable funding solution.
