US President Donald Trump said a government shutdown \”could happen\” if the House of Representatives cannot muster enough votes to pass a temporary funding bill. Trump on Saturday signaled his support for the continuing resolution, and urged his fellow Republicans to vote in favor of it. Republicans, who control the House, unveiled a six-month stopgap spending bill on Saturday, and a vote on the measure is expected on Tuesday. \”I think the CR is going to get passed. We’ll see,\” Trump said when asked by reporters whether there was going to be aGovernment shutdown this week when funding runs out on March 14. He was referring to the bill, a continuing resolution that would fund the government at current levels for the remainder of fiscal year 2025, which ends September 30. The bill has encouraged some hardline Republicans who have previously voted against similar stopgap funding bills, a crucial hurdle in the chamber where House Speaker Mike Johnson leads a slim Republican 218-214 majority. \”Great things are coming for America, and I am asking you all to give us a few months to get us through to September so we can continue to put the Country’s ‘financial house’ in order,\” Trump posted on social media on Saturday.
