(Reuters) -U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Thursday that he believes he has the votes to pass a stopgap funding bill on Friday that would avert a government shutdown.
House Republicans hope to pass the stopgap, known as a continuing resolution or "CR," on Friday and send it on to the Senate, which would also need to approve the measure before Republican President Donald Trump could sign it into law.
"I believe we have the votes to do it," Johnson said during an interview on Fox News' "Special Report with Bret Baier."
"We'll do the right thing: keep the government open," he said.

I've been asking about fiscal year govt funding for a couple days now. Am hearing Schumer wants to keep ILLEGALS on Obamacare. The good news is, that this marathon may be coming to an end soon….may, might, let's pray!
