Johnson speaks as House passes 2026 funding bills

We have now learned tonight that the U.S. House passed this year's final batch of spending bills as lawmakers worked to avoid another funding lapse for the federal government. The four bills are now moving to the U.S. Senate and total about 1.2 trillion dollars in spending. Final passage will be needed next week before a Jan. 30 deadline to avoid a partial government shutdown. LiveNOW’s Austin Westfall is speaking with Eleanor Mueller who reports on Congress for SEMAFOR, as Democrats in Congress continue to denounce federal funding being used to facilitate immigration enforcement across the country.
