Speaker Johnson rolls out plan to avoid government shutdown, prevent 'spending monstrosity'
Fox News
Speaker Mike Johnson unveiled a plan aimed at avoiding a government shutdown when federal funding runs out on Nov. 17.
Supporters of a staggered short-term bill, known as a continuing resolution (CR), argue it puts targeted pressure on lawmakers to achieve their goals at an incremental rate. Elizabeth Elkind is a reporter for Fox News Digital focused on Congress as well as the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and politics. Previous digital bylines seen at Daily Mail and CBS News.
Johnson’s CR includes no additional funding for Ukraine or Israel, but it does extend key programs under the Farm Bill, another must-pass piece of legislation that expires this year. Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
