New government funding bill sees the removal of Trump's voting restrictions, as announced by House Speaker Johnson.

• Mike Johnson, the Republican House Speaker, unveiled a revised temporary government funding plan that incorporated significant changes from his earlier proposal.
• The new proposal is not in line with Donald Trump's preferences and includes some concessions to Democrats.
• The new bill, which funds the government until Dec. 20, does not contain any provisions from the SAVE Act, a Trump-supported election security measure that would mandate voter proof of citizenship.
• The SAVE Act included Johnson's bill, which Trump preferred, to fund the government through March 2025.

On Sunday, House Speaker Mike Johnson unveiled a revised temporary government funding plan that incorporated significant changes from his initial proposal, despite opposition from former President Donald Trump and some concessions to Democrats.

The new bill, which funds the government until Dec. 20, does not contain any provisions from the SAVE Act, a Trump-supported election security measure that would mandate voter proof of citizenship.

In a letter to colleagues on Sunday, Johnson stated that the proposal would be "very limited and basic" and would only include the necessary extensions to prevent a government shutdown.

The government will face a partial shutdown on Oct. 1 at 12:01 a.m. E.T., just over a month away from the November election when party control will be up for grabs in both the White House and Congress, as Congressional Republicans and Democrats have eight days to strike a deal on government funding.

"Johnson wrote in the letter that although this is not the preferred solution, it is the most practical option under the current circumstances. He stated that shutting down the government less than 40 days before an election would be an act of political malpractice, as history has shown and current polling confirms."

According to House Republican aides, it is expected that the new bill will be presented on the House floor by Wednesday.

The three-month budget allocates $231 million for the Secret Service, in response to the agency's request for additional resources following the latest assassination attempt against Trump on Sunday.

Johnson's bill, if passed, would have funded the government until March 2025, with the SAVE Act attached.

Trump wrote on Truth Social earlier this month that if Republicans "don't receive absolute assurances on Election Security," they should not hesitate to shut down the government.

The SAVE Act and six-month stopgap funding bill faced opposition from House Republican caucus members who were against temporary government funding. Some GOP members opposed the bill altogether, while others had issues with specific funding allocations.

Johnson could only afford to lose four GOP votes in the House to pass the bill.

As we did not meet the goal line, an alternative plan is necessary, Johnson stated in a letter to his colleagues on Sunday.

The SAVE Act would not have passed in the Democrat-majority Senate as Democrats had pledged to vote against the six-month bill.

Johnson's new funding proposal reflects key compromises with Democrats by dropping the SAVE Act and introducing a three-month bill.

Both President Joe Biden and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer supported a shorter-term plan without any paired bills, allowing the new governing body to start fresh in January.

Schumer welcomed the changes from the House speaker.

Schumer announced at a Sunday press conference that a government shutdown would likely be avoided, as there is now some good news.

"The MAGA GOP bill's failure has made it clear that only a bipartisan budget bill can keep the government open," he said. "The MAGA GOP has untangled the red knot it tied around the party."

Johnson's potential concessions to Democrats could impact his speakership. McCarthy, a former Republican California representative, became the first House speaker to be removed from his position after he reached a deal with Democrats to prevent a government shutdown in October 2023.
