Speaker Johnson and House Leadership Hold Press Conference on Day 8 of Government Shutdown

Published | Video Starts at 05:15

I mean, we've had a pretty decent year in The House Appropriations Committee, all 12 bills out of committee before September 30, three that we are in negotiations on with the Democrats. Those negotiations have gone very well. We're prepared pretty quickly to close once the government's reopened. We could get at least three bills done. The president could sign them in. Those things would be immune from a shutdown until the following September 30th. (05:15–05:21)

CLAIM

Asserts readiness to finalize negotiations on bills once the government shutdown ends.
