House Speaker Mike Johnson Cancels Vote on Funding Bill as Republican Members Derail Stopgap Spending Bill Vote. Trump Claims Democrats Are Trying to 'STUFF VOTER REGISTRATIONS WITH ILLEGAL ALIENS.'

House Speaker Mike Johnson canceled a vote on a stopgap funding bill Wednesday after facing opposition from over a dozen Republicans, delaying efforts to avoid a government shutdown. Johnson, who leads a razor-thin GOP majority, said he will work through the weekend to build consensus. The government will partially shut down on October 1st without a funding deal. Former President Donald Trump posted a message on Truth Social after the presidential debate, urging House Republicans to reject the bill. He stated that “THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO ‘STUFF’ VOTER REGISTRATIONS WITH ILLEGAL ALIENS."
