When Congress narrowly avoided a government shutdown nearly six weeks ago, members agreed to a temporary solution. The House and Senate approved a stopgap measure — known as a continuing resolution, or CR — that kept the government’s lights on, but only until mid-November. The ostensible point was to give lawmakers time to negotiate a longer-term spending deal that would fund the government through the end of the fiscal year.
The pressures on Johnson aren’t identical — no one is threatening to oust the new speaker, at least not yet — but it’s likely that the recent history is not lost on the Louisianan. The trouble, of course, is that the House Republican conference is still the House Republican conference.
