The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on a partisan spending plan that is seemingly doomed to fail. Republicans who forced Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to scrap a vote last week due to their intense opposition have said they have still not changed their positions on the bill.

The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives was set to vote on a bill to fund the government and impose new voter registration rules, as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump urged lawmakers to force a partial government shutdown if they don't get their way.

The House on Wednesday rejected legislation to continue funding the federal government past the Oct. 1 deadline, inching the government one step closer to a shutdown just six weeks before Election Day—though lawmakers predict Congress will reach an agreement to avoid any electoral consequences.
