The short answer, is that since the Republicans get blamed for government shutdowns, whether deserved or not, the GOP is afraid of such shutdowns.

The GOP is worried what the liberals and media will say about them.

Over 85% of government in on autopilot. Very few affected by a shutdown.

Mike Johnson violated the Hastert Rule, as well as, broke a House rule intended to give lawmakers time to review legislation before a vote:

The Hastert rule is an informal guiding principle for leaders in the House of Representatives that dictates a majority of the majority party support any measure before it receives a vote. It is named after former U.S. Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R), who served in the position from 1999 to 2007.2 The speaker will not schedule a floor vote on any bill that does not have majority support within their party, even if the majority of the members of the House would vote to pass it. The Hastert Rule is much less rigid than the 80-percent rule held by the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus. The rule has received some attention in the press lately, as some House conservatives have demanded that Speaker Boehner not bring up any immigration bill that does not pass this test. The rule is designed to limit the debate on bills that don't have support from a majority of its conference.

The above was reported by Breitbart & posted on 3/22/2024, 12:51:06 PM by ChicagoConservative27
