Speaker Johnson's Government Funding Plan Faces GOP Resistance Without SAVE Act | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Speaker Mike Johnson wants a floor vote this week on a temporary agreement that would keep the government funded until December 20. But the bill still has to get through the Rules Committee and that's not certain, because several Republicans want another CR, true cuts in government spending. This CR does not include any part of the SAVE Act, the election security proposal backed by former President Donald Trump which requires everyone registering to vote to provide proof of citizenship. It would include additional millions for the Secret Service, in the wake of the assassination attempts against former President Donald Trump, so the agency can hire and train more agents. Legislative Affairs Program Director at the Graduate School of Political Management at George Washington University, Dr. Casey Burgat, joins to share what the likelihood is that lawmakers will come to an agreement and avoid a shutdown. Dr. Burgat discusses what happens to the government and its services if the shutdown occurs and who is impacted the most. He tells us whether a government shutdown could have an impact on the presidential race, especially with it being so close to election day. Dr. Burgat fills us in on what he thinks Speaker Johnson needs to do to get this over the finish line and convince members of his party to vote for it, even though the SAVE Act is not included. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
