US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that if the House of Representatives could not collect enough votes to pass a temporary funding bill, the government’s arrangement could be “” but he is hopeful that the move will be approved.
“This can happen. This should not have happened, and it may not happen. I think CR is about to pass. We will see, “when Trump asked reporters whether the government would be shut down this week when funds would end on March 14.
He was referring to the bill, a permanent resolution, or CR, which will fund the government at the current level in the rest of the fiscal year 2025, which will end on September 30.
Republicans, who controlled the House, unveiled a six -month stop gap expense bill on Saturday, and the move is expected to vote on Tuesday.
Trump pointed to his support for the resolution on Saturday, and called on his fellow Republicans to vote in favor of it.
Trump posted on social media on Saturday, “Next week all Republicans (please!) Yes, I should vote.”
“There are tremendous things coming to the United States, and I am asking you to give us a few months to reach us by September so that we can keep the country’s ‘financial home’.”
His support for the funding plan has encouraged some hardline Republicans who have previously voted against similar stop gap funding bills, which is an important obstacle to the chamber where House speaker Mike Johnson leads a thin Republican of 218-214.
