House Republicans unveil stopgap bill to avoid government shutdown
SUMMARY: House Republicans have introduced a spending bill aimed at funding federal agencies through September 30, which they believe could lead to a conflict with Democrats over government spending priorities. The bill proposes slightly increased defense funding while reducing nondefense spending below 2024 levels, a move likely to be rejected by Democrats advocating for equal treatment of both areas. Speaker Mike Johnson plans to push for a vote despite Democratic opposition, confident in Republican support. The bill has President Trump’s endorsement, emphasizing unity among Republicans. Democrats warn that this partisan approach increases the risk of a government shutdown.
