Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has announced a new temporary government funding proposal with key amendments from the original bill he put forward earlier this month.
The new proposal makes some concessions to Democrats and goes against former President Donald Trump's wishes.
The proposal does not include any part of the SAVE Act, a Trump-backed election security proposal that would require people to show proof of citizenship to register as a voter.
The previous version of Johnson's bill, which Trump preferred, was attached to the SAVE Act and would have funded the government through March 2025.
Johnson described the new proposal as "very narrow, bare-bones" and said it would include "only the extensions that are absolutely necessary" to avoid a government shutdown.
Congressional Republicans and Democrats have eight days to strike a deal on government funding, or the government will go into partial shutdown on October 1 at 12:01 a.m. E.T.
The government shutdown would occur just over a month away from the November election, when party control will be up for grabs in both the White House and Congress.
Johnson wrote in a letter to colleagues that the new proposal is "the most prudent path forward under the present circumstances" and that shutting down the government would be "an act of political malpractice."
