Johnson plans to propose individual votes on spending measures: Sources

House Republicans will meet behind closed doors at 12:30 p.m. ET to discuss a new plan to avert a government shutdown -- as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says the “lines of communication have been reopened” with Speaker Mike Johnson.

According to sources, Johnson plans to propose the House take several individual votes on pieces of the slimmed-down agreement that failed on the floor Thursday night, including a continuing resolution to fund the government through March 14, $10 billion in economic assistance for farmers and $100 billion disaster relief.

Those are the core pillars of the bipartisan proposal that was tanked by Trump and Musk. It’s unclear whether Republicans will make another attempt to take up the debt limit -- Trump’s key demand -- in this latest round of votes.
