Support is expected in the House of Representatives for the bill that would fund federal agencies until September 30

 


House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is scheduled to vote Tuesday on a bill that, if passed, would prevent a partial government shutdown during the first 100 days of President Donald Trump's term.

Republicans don't have much support from Democrats, so Johnson believes Republicans can get the 99-page bill that would fund federal agencies through Sept. 30 passed virtually on its own.

On Friday, March 14, Congress must take action to keep parts of the government open. Over the past two years, dozens of conservatives have opposed continuing resolutions. On Saturday, Trump called on Republicans to work together to support the bill.

"The House and Senate have put together, under the circumstances, a very good funding bill (CR). All Republicans should vote (please!) YES next week," Trump wrote on TRUTHSocial. “Great things are coming for America and I ask everyone to give us a few months to get to September so we can continue putting the country’s ‘financial house’ in order. Democrats will do everything they can to shut down our government and we cannot allow that to happen.”
