Mike Johnson's spending bill faces opposition from Republicans and Democrats, risking failure and a government shutdown.

With the election looming and another government funding deadline just around the corner , the speaker must find a way in the next several days to both govern for the country, avoid a shutdown that could cost his members in swing districts and keep the right flank of his party pacified enough to not imperil his own political future.

The House on Wednesday voted down Speaker Mike Johnson's funding plan with 14 Republicans voting against it and two others voting present.
