Speaker Mike Johnson, White House Strike Spending Framework Deal

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and congressional leaders have reached a spending framework agreement that could prevent a government shutdown, though it may disappoint conservatives pushing for more substantial budget cuts.

The bipartisan arrangement proposes allocating $866 billion for defense funding and $704 billion for non-defense spending in the current fiscal year, aligning with the spending levels established by the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA).

This mirrors the debt limit agreement reached by President Joe Biden and former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

The deal comes just around two weeks before funding for numerous government agencies was scheduled to expire, Breitbart News reported.
