A dozen House Republicans on Tuesday helped their Democratic colleagues bypass House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and force a vote to allow House members to vote by proxy for up to three months after having children.

Speaker Mike Johnson plans to roll the dice Tuesday on a GOP bill to stop the federal government from shutting down this weekend. The top House leader is putting his party’s short-term funding measure to a vote on the floor not knowing if he has the votes to pass it and facing opposition from within his own ranks.

House Republicans passed a stopgap bill Tuesday afternoon to fund the government until October and avert a potential government shutdown. The final vote on the bill legislation took place at 4 p.m. Eastern Time.
