Trump, Johnson press Republicans to back funding planA White House meeting today will be key in lining up support to avoid a government shutdown.Meredith Lee Hill03/05/2025, 11:47am ET
President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson still have to convince a small group of fiscal hawks to back their funding plan to avert a government shutdown by the March 14 deadline.A group of House Freedom Caucus members and other budget hawks who are deeply skeptical of supporting short-term measures to fund the federal operations are heading to the White House Wednesday for a 2 p.m. meeting with Trump. The president is expected to push for Republicans to fall in line and vote for Johnson’s continuing resolution to fund the government at current spending levels through the end of September.///////////////////
