Speaker Johnson gave an update on the budget appropriations process in that last 2-3 day. 3 of the 12 resolutions apparently passed the house floor and the rest are coming out of committeee. It was Johnson who talked about a November deadline on a fox business video. This is Johnson’s statement, unfortunately he is on so many videos the one containing the statement with reference to Nov. is proving difficult to find. Perhaps it is a self imposed deadline like July 4th for the BBB.
