Government shutdown at risk as Trump's demands put Speaker Johnson in a bind

^{Published on 2024-12-19 11:40:47 - WSB Radio}

A government shutdown at risk, House Speaker Mike Johnson is fighting to figure out how to meet President-elect Donald Trump's sudden demands
and keep his own job

The article from WSB Radio discusses the looming threat of a U.S. government shutdown as the deadline for Congress to pass a funding bill approaches. With the fiscal year ending on September 30, 2023, and no agreement in sight, key issues include disagreements over spending levels, with House Republicans pushing for significant cuts while the Senate and White House advocate for maintaining current funding levels. The potential shutdown could affect federal employees, military personnel, and numerous government services, leading to delays in benefits, park closures, and other disruptions. Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces internal party pressure, with some conservative members demanding deeper cuts, complicating negotiations. If no deal is reached, non-essential government functions would halt, and many federal workers would be furloughed or required to work without immediate pay.
