US. House Speaker Mike Johnson pulled a vote on a temporary spending bill that would have kept the government funded for the next six months. He said the measure did not have the support needed to pass a potential partial government shutdown could still happen. One sticking point is that the legislation would require people registering to vote to provide proof of citizenship.
