Playbook: “With just four days until a government shutdown, the race is on to see whether Speaker Mike Johnson’s plan for a two-pronged clean continuing resolution can peel off enough House Democrats to make up for Republican defections. (That’s to say nothing of what will happen with the Senate and White House, of course.)”
“The number of GOP members opposed rose to seven today as Reps. Bob Good, Freedom Caucus leader Scott Perry and Tim Burchett voiced their dissent, saying they couldn’t go along with a broken status quo. Rep. Ralph Norman said he hasn’t decided yet — including, crucially, on whether he’ll vote for the rule in committee.”
“And Dem leadership doesn’t sound inclined to help out.”
