As the deadline approaches to prevent a government shutdown, President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson propose a stopgap bill to maintain federal funding through September. This decision is seen as a concession by Republicans, maintaining spending set during Biden's administration. Trump's support aims to unify Republicans and leverage his ability to make deep cuts independently. However, opposition arises from appropriations committees concerned about potential funding shortages and executive power over spending decisions. The plan's viability remains uncertain as the deadline nears.
I am working with the GREAT House Republicans on a Continuing Resolution to fund the Government until September to give us some needed time to work on our Agenda.
Conservatives will love this Bill, because it sets us up to cut Taxes and Spending in Reconciliation, all while effectively FREEZING Spending this year.
Members of both parties on the appropriations committees in the House and Senate are deeply opposed, arguing that it would starve some departments of needed funding.
