House Speaker Mike Johnson Wednesday withdrew the GOP government funding bill from a scheduled vote after opposition from several Republican members forced him to postpone it.

Both Republicans and Democrats opposed the stopgap funding bill, which was tied to new rules requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote.

The House has rejected Speaker Mike Johnson's bill to temporarily fund the government. The legislation that failed Wednesday would have linked temporary government funding with a mandate that states require proof of citizenship when people register to vote.
