Speaker Johnson remarks as house votes on interim funding bill | LiveNOW from FOX

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) makes remarks to members of the media on Capitol Hill as members of the House vote on an interim spending bill to fund the government ahead of a potential government shutdown.

Meanwhile, House Republicans have struck a deal on a backup plan for averting a government shutdown by Friday's deadline. Multiple sources told Fox News Digital the deal would extend current government funding levels for three months and also suspend the debt limit for two years, something President-elect Trump has demanded.

It comes after conservatives led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy torpedoed Speaker Mike Johnson's initial government funding plan Wednesday, prompting fears of a partial government shutdown right before the holidays.
