The plea underscored the precarious position Johnson finds himself in as the House returned from a weeklong recess. The Senate passed the bipartisan package on Friday evening, but funding for several major agencies lapsed early Saturday morning when the House failed to act, triggering a partial shutdown that has furloughed workers and forced others to work without pay. A final vote in the House is not expected before Tuesday at the earliest as Johnson must first move the legislation through the chamber’s normal procedural process, which includes a rule vote that Democrats are unlikely to support.
