Mike Johnson clears critical hurdle to ending government shutdown

• The vote on the "rule," which advances the bill to the House floor for debate, was 217-215.
• Final passage of the package will happen Tuesday afternoon and it's expected to pick up significant Democratic support, Axios reported Tuesday.

State of play: GOP leadership was able to muscle through the procedural measure relying on Republican support, with a one-vote cushion.

• President Trump extracted two "yes" votes from the two loudest GOP holdouts on Monday, who had vowed to tank the rule over the SAVE Act.
• House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) left the vote open for 45 minutes as he flipped the remaining holdouts. Only one member, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) ultimately voted against it.
• "What's the incentive for me to vote for anything?" Massie told Axios heading to the chamber Tuesday. Trump took to Truth Social Monday to criticize Massie's wife for making him "liberal."

• "The speaker of the House should say something," Massie added, referring to Trump's attack on his wife.

What's next: House Freedom Caucus members want a seat at the negotiating table for those talks, and come with a list of conservative priorities they want included.

• Efforts to include the SAVE Act in the next funding bill will also come up again, multiple members told Axios.
