Mike Johnson speaks out after Senate breakthrough on government shutdown

EXCLUSIVE: Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is glad the Senate finally managed to break through its weeks-long standoff on the government shutdown, he told Fox News Digital on Monday morning.

“It’s a great development. It’s long overdue. It vindicates our position in this all along,” the House leader said.

He added that he would have “a lot more to say at a press conference this morning.”

Asked how soon the House would return to session, Johnson said, “Immediately.”

“We’re going to get everybody back on a 36-hour notice, so it’ll be happening early this week,” Johnson said.
