YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Republican leaders will speak with reporters Tuesday morning as lawmakers are set to vote on legislation to end the partial government shutdown.

The House Rules Committee on Monday night advanced the bill, teeing up what will be a tight vote on the House floor for GOP leaders. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) has already signaled Democrats may not help push the spending package over the finish line.

Criticism over the Department of Homeland Security‘s (DHS) immigration enforcement tactics, including two recent fatal shootings of U.S. citizens in Minnesota, has played a pivotal role in holding up spending talks. Democrats have pressed President Trump to oust Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem amid the controversy and are pushing for reforms within the agency.

The spending package includes a two-week extension of funding for DHS.

The press conference is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EST.
