Mike Johnson criticizes Democrats for opposing government funding

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson criticized Democrats for voting against government funding, claiming they aimed to make a political statement. The government funding measure passed narrowly in the House and with some Democratic support in the Senate. Johnson stated that most Democrats prioritized political goals over the needs of the American people. He emphasized that Republicans will take responsibility for governing and fulfilling their agenda. Looking ahead, Johnson plans to advance President Trump's funding proposals, including border security and energy investments, without expecting Democratic support. He aims to have a bill ready for Trump by early May.
