The House is set to vote on Speaker Mike Johnson's proposal that ties federal funding for the upcoming budget year to a requirement for states to mandate proof of citizenship for voter registration. Johnson previously withdrew the bill last week to garner support among Republicans but is determined to proceed with the vote despite some GOP members expressing concerns over spending levels. Democrats are largely opposed to the measure, arguing that it could disenfranchise many eligible voters and pointing out that noncitizen voting is already illegal and rare. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has indicated that the proposal is unlikely to pass and emphasizes the need for bipartisan cooperation to avoid a government shutdown. Johnson has not presented any alternative plans should the bill fail and has stated that there is 'no Plan B'. As the new fiscal year approaches, lawmakers are under pressure to reach an agreement to prevent a government shutdown.
