Senate poised to vote on funding bill as Saturday’s deadline nears
Shortly after the funding bill passed the House, Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters that he was “grateful” that members of Congress passed the CR.
“We encourage swift passage in the Senate now,” he said. “They need to do their job as the House just did.”
Johnson added that he spoke with Trump and Musk recently as well.
Trump “knew exactly what we were doing and why, and — and this is a good outcome for the country. I think he certainly is happy about this outcome as well,” Johnson said.
When asked by NBC News whether Johnson still wants to be the House speaker, Johnson said that his job “is a challenge in this modern era, but it’s a challenge that we accept.”
“It’s a great honor to serve in the position,” he said. “I wouldn’t say it’s the most fun job in the world all the time, but it’s an important one, a hugely consequential moment for the country.”
