https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5047932-vance-johnson-spending-deal/Vice President-elect JD Vance met with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Wednesday night, hours after President-elect Trump torpedoed the GOP leader’s spending deal.
Vance was in Johnson’s office for nearly an hour, as a handful of Republican lawmakers huddled to discuss government funding and Friday’s looming shutdown deadline.
Emerging from that meeting, Vance said the group had a “productive conversation.”
“I’m not gonna say anything else, more about it tonight because we’re in the middle of these negotiations,” he added. “But I think we’ll be able to solve some problems here and we’ll keep working on it.”
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), similarly, said the group had a “good, productive meeting” after emerging from Johnson’s office Wednesday night, but said “we’re still working through it.”
“We’re gonna continue to work through the night, in the morning, to get to an agreement we can bring to the floor,” he added.
EXCERPT
Not sure what Johnson was thinking with that stupid CR...business a usual?
