House Republican leaders have canceled planned Friday votes as GOP hard-liners continue threatening to block legislative action over an elections bill that is stalled in the Senate, according to a notice sent to members Thursday.
Members are expected to leave town after a 1 p.m. vote Thursday, and it’s possible they might not return Monday as planned. The fiscal 2027 Energy-Water and State Department funding bills were supposed to be on the floor this week.
Speaker Mike Johnson is hoping to discuss the legislative agenda with President Donald Trump at an afternoon meeting in hopes of brokering a solution that will allow the House to resume voting next week.
If not, the House could join the Senate on an extended recess, not returning till mid-July, two people granted anonymity to describe internal conversations said.
