Speaker Johnson is now telling reporters that they have reached a consensus and there will not be a government shutdown.

The CR will be combined with disaster relief and aid for farmers.

JOHNSON tells me “We will not have a government shutdown and we will meet our obligations for our farmers who need aid for the disaster victims all over the country, and for making sure that military and essential services, and everyone who relies upon the federal government for a paycheck is paid over the holidays.”

We’ll see if they really have consensus and if they can do this. I remain skeptical.
