House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told Fox News in a Sept. 18 interview that he believes the GOP has enough votes to pass a continuing resolution (CR) that will keep the government funded through Nov. 21.
The House is set to vote Sept. 19 on the CR that would extend government funding at current funding levels past the Sept. 30 fiscal year deadline. The White House backed the resolution, while Democrats have criticized it as being a partisan bill.
