  • Both sides of the aisle want to avoid a shutdown, and will most likely pass a stopgap bill through March, but the negotiations over the details are still ongoing.

The article from Deseret.com discusses the looming threat of a government shutdown as the deadline for a stopgap funding measure approaches. House Speaker Mike Johnson is navigating a divided Congress, with the House and Senate at odds over spending priorities and policy riders. The current continuing resolution (CR) is set to expire, and without an agreement, non-essential government functions could halt. Johnson faces pressure from conservative factions within his party to secure spending cuts and policy concessions, while Senate Democrats and some Republicans push for a "clean" CR to maintain current funding levels. The situation is complicated by the need to address supplemental funding requests for international aid and disaster relief, adding layers of complexity to the negotiations. As the deadline nears, the possibility of a shutdown increases, potentially affecting federal employees, public services, and the broader economy.
