Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) will hold a press conference Thursday morning, as the government shutdown persists with no funding resolution in sight.

The House is currently in a district work period after the shutdown took effect last week, meaning most lawmakers are absent. Johnson and other House leaders continue to provide updates about the situation on Capitol Hill.
