29:53Now PlayingHouse Republican leadership is slated to deliver remarks Wednesday following a closed-door meeting amid the party's effort to avert a government shutdown.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told The Hill that his decision to reschedule a vote on his partisan spending plan is leaving Congress seemingly no closer to passing a stopgap funding bill ahead of the Sept. 30 deadline.
The package, which pairs a 6-week continuing resolution (CR) with a bill requiring proof of citizenship to vote, appears destined for failure in the House. A vote on the measure, expected later Wednesday, comes after a number of Republicans staked opposition to the legislation last week, forcing Johnson to scrap the initial vote.
Even if the legislation does pass, however, it is doomed in the Senate, where lawmakers are urging the Speaker to change course and back a CR that could actually make it to President Biden’s desk and be signed into law.
The briefing begins at 10 a.m. EDT.
