House Speaker Mike Johnson has proposed a new three-month government funding bill, going against former President Donald Trump's preferences and making concessions to Democrats. The bill would fund the government through December 20th without including the Trump-backed election security measure. Johnson's revised bill avoids a government shutdown before the upcoming November election. The six-month funding bill faced opposition within the House Republican caucus, with some members rejecting temporary funding and others disagreeing with specific allocations.
