Speaker Mike Johnson says he’s not bringing the House back into session for the second week of the government shutdown.
Some of his Republican colleagues say he’s doing the right thing.
Johnson said Friday that he doesn’t plan to bring the House back until the Senate passes the House-passed continuing resolution, which would temporarily fund the federal government and open it back up. And next week, he’ll keep members out of Washington — announcing it will be a district work period instead of him gaveling the House back in on Tuesday.
