Republicans have struck a deal on a short-term government spending patch and potential debt limit increase, according to two GOP lawmakers meeting in Speaker Mike Johnson's office Thursday afternoon.
"There is an agreement," said Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-Okla.). "The plan is to put a bill on the floor that we think is a reasonable step forward."
She said that further details on the deal's contents would be released soon and that they have kept Donald Trump apprised of the agreement. The goal is for the House to vote Thursday, she added.
