House Speaker Mike Johnson now opposes standalone pay vote for troops, blaming Senate and citing prior funding bill.
House Speaker Mike Johnson reversed his position, now opposing a standalone vote to ensure military personnel receive pay during the ongoing government shutdown, despite earlier openness.
He argues the House has already passed a funding bill extending through Nov. 21 and blames the Senate for the deadlock after rejecting multiple proposals.
While acknowledging federal workers, including military members, should receive back pay—a long-standing tradition and possibly required by law—Johnson has not confirmed whether such pay is legally mandated.
With 55 Democrats urging action by Oct. 15, the future of military pay remains uncertain as the shutdown enters its eighth day.
