House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Republican leaders will give remarks as the second week of the government shutdown continues following six failed votes in the Senate on stopgap funding bills.
Johnson canceled House votes for this week as the GOP vowed to make the lapse in funding painful for Democrats as a way to force them into accepting the House-passed “clean” continuing resolution, which would extend funding until Nov. 21. Despite some defections in the upper chamber of Congress, Democrats have stood firm on their demands for health care concessions.
The Speaker is also facing pressure to call the House back to vote on ensuring military pay amid the shutdown.
The press conference is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
