Mike Johnson pulls stopgap funding plan over widespread GOP opposition
by Aris Folley and Emily Brooks - 09/11/24 11:59 AM ET
 

House GOP leadership scrapped plans for a Wednesday vote on the party’s stopgap funding plan, as its chances of passage sank in recent days amid opposition from defense hawks and hardline conservatives.

Republicans had already been less than optimistic about the bill’s odds, and it became increasingly clear how unpopular the measure was with members across various factions.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
