Government shutdown live updates: Johnson says 'we've got a plan' as deadline nears

Vice President-elect JD Vance laid blame on Democrats for the pending government shutdown while speaking with reporters Thursday evening.

"The Democrats just voted to shut down the government even though we had a clean CR [because] they didn’t want to give the president negotiating leverage during the first year of his new term," Vance said.

"And number two, because they would rather shut down the government and fight for global censorship bull----, they’ve asked for a shutdown, and I think that’s exactly what they’re going to get.”

Vance did not mention the 38 GOP House members who also rejected the bill.

It’s unclear what will happen next now that the Trump-backed government funding bill failed to clear the House.

Speaker Mike Johnson has yet to emerge from the chamber.

The House is in recess subject to the call of the Chair.

“Please stay tuned for additional information,” the majority leader advised.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries posted a statement on Bluesky following the failed vote which he labeled "The Musk-Johnson government shutdown bill."

"MAGA extremists in the House GOP are not serious about helping working-class Americans. They are simply doing the bidding of their wealthy donors and puppeteers. Unacceptable," he wrote.

The latest Republican plan to avert a government shutdown has failed to reach the two-thirds majority to pass, with a 174-235-1 vote.

There were 38 votes against the bill from House Republicans, including Chip Roy, Bob Good, Matt Rosendale, Andy Ogles, Eli Crane, Andy Harris, Andy Biggs, Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman.

Democratic Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Kathy Castor of Florida voted in favor of the bill.

Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio voted present.
