House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has told reporters that he doesn’t expect any Republican ‘no’ votes when the funding package to reopen the government comes up for a vote on the floor shortly. Punchbowl reports on X that the House will vote on the rule at approximately 11:15 ET 16:15 GMT, confirming our earlier bullet (US: First Procedural Vote On Govt Funding Package Expected At 11:15 ET 16:15 GMT) If the rule vote carries, the package will be on a glide path to final passage at roughly 13:00 ET 18:00 GMT. 

• Johnson said at a presser ahead of the House proceedings that he didn’t agree with the decision but, “The President agreed with [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer [D-NY] that they would separate [The Department of Homeland Security bill from a broader six-bill funding package].” He adds, “We’re going to pass the rule today. It was never in doubt to me.”
• Johnson notes that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) informed him over the weekend that Democrats “would not be assisting in this endeavour,” necessitating some last-minute wrangling with House conservatives to assure the rule is adopted, advancing the measure to a vote on final passage.
• When the package is passed, it will be sent to President Donald Trump’s desk to formally end the short government shutdown.
