House Speaker Mike Johnson is now facing the same threat that felled his predecessor.
The 74-to-24 vote finished at around 2 in the morning, which was technically two hours after the midnight deadline to fund the government. Shortly after the Senate passed the deadline, the White House put out a statement saying that the Office of Management and Budget had ceased preparations for a government shutdown, citing “a high degree of confidence that Congress will imminently pass the relevant appropriations and the President will sign the bill on Saturday.
On Friday, Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene accused Johnson of “betrayal of the American people” and promised to begin the process of ousting him. “The Republican speaker of the House handed over every ounce of negotiating power to Chuck Schumer and the Democrats and went ahead and funded the government when this was our point of leverage,” Greene said.
