Democrats blindside leaders with move to bail out Johnson

  • Democrats Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez voted to open debate on several bills, preventing a House floor shutdown and helping Speaker Mike Johnson maintain control, despite opposition from Republicans over a hemp THC ban delay.
  • Five Republicans, including Chip Roy, voted against a rule protesting the continuing resolution due to concerns such as delaying the hemp ban, abortion provisions, and lack of immigration enforcement funding.
  • The CR extended government funding through December 11, blocked changes to financial assistance guidelines, and funded agriculture, flood insurance, and veterans benefits without including spending cuts despite the rising national debt.
  • Democratic leaders expressed disappointment or frustration with Golden and Perez for their votes, which averted the shutdown but were unexpected by party leadership.
