[U.S. House Speaker Plans to Hold Vote on Temporary Spending Bill Next Week] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on July 16, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that he plans to bring a continuing resolution (CR) to the House for a vote next week, initiating the battle over funding ahead of the September 30 deadline. Speaking Thursday morning in New York about the continuing resolution, Johnson (Republican, Louisiana) said, 'This is the current plan.' Congress needs to provide funding for the government before the end of the fiscal year, or it will face another government shutdown just ahead of the midterm elections in November.
