The House shot down a temporary spending deal that would extend government funding for the next six months, sending lawmakers back to square one with less than two weeks until a scheduled shutdown and lapse in federal funding.

The House is set to vote Wednesday on Speaker Mike Johnson's plan to keep the government funded with Congress up against an October 1 deadline to pass a spending bill or continuing resolution to avert a government shutdown.

The House has rejected Speaker Mike Johnson's bill to temporarily fund the government. The legislation that failed Wednesday would have linked temporary government funding with a mandate that states require proof of citizenship when people register to vote.
