Johnson is about to do ANOTHER CR to keep govt open until Sept, since he has been unable to pass his own budget.
This was Johnson in NOV 2023: “I’m done with CRs. We are. We’re resolved.”
He has repeatedly broken every promise he made in this clip, & is about to do it again.

“.. In a phone interview with NBC News, Trump said getting rid of the debt ceiling entirely would be the ‘smartest thing [Congress] could do. I would support that entirely.’”
