Washington-Speaker Mike Johnson, AR La.
The leaders of the two parties did not agree on a road to keep the government open, but they are raising the chances of closing at the end of next Friday, when federal funding ends.
Johnson did not reveal this measure, known as the ongoing decision or CR, but he said that he would keep the government lights during the current fiscal year that ends on September 30.
The two -party talks were struck on the wall and Johnson seeks to pass the bill with the votes of the Republic only. But he has a hardship of 218-214, and MP Thomas Massi, RK, he already said that he would vote against the Stopgap bill. This means that Johnson cannot afford another split of the Republican Party.
The speaker is also struggling with some changes in spending in the short term that the White House-such as the financing of high migration enforcement and discounts on the Tax Authority-although it is not clear which provisions that will make it in the draft law. Democrats want to prevent President Donald Trump and billionaire consultant Elon Musk from unilateral and spending agencies from the output of Congress.
Johnson said that the draft law will collide with the land “early next week, and perhaps on Tuesday.” On Friday, on Fox News, as soon as it passes through the Republican House of Representatives, “We will see whether there are greater Democrats in the Senate.”
In the Senate, the draft law will require at least seven Democrats to pass the 60 votes. If Congress is unable to send the Stopgap bill to the President’s Office by March 14, the government will close less than two months in Trump’s second state.
Congress approved a short -term financing bill last December, but funded the government until March 14.
What is unclear is if any Democratic Democrats in the House of Representatives, who face difficult bids in 2026, will be separated from their leadership and eventually supporting the Johnson bill, supported by Trump. If a sufficient number of Democrats votes in the House of Representatives, this may pressure a handful of Democrats in the Senate to sign as well.
Currently, the two parties appear only seven days away from the end of funding.
When Johnson appeared in Fox News, the first three Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives-Hakim Jeffrez, Catherine Clark and Beit Agilar-sent a message to their ranks and their file accusing Republicans of providing a “ongoing party solution”.
“This is unacceptable,” the leaders wrote.
“We cannot support a measure that mixes health care and sustainable retirement investments from ordinary Americans as part of the Republican Planner to pay the costs of huge tax discounts for their wealthy donors like Elon Musk. Medicaid is our red line.”
Soon the Republican Congress, the Republican Campaign Campaign in the House of Representatives, returned to a message from Democrats: “Democrats in the House of Representatives admitted that they wanted to close the government, and they are now following.”
Meanwhile, the first four allocations in the House of Representatives and the Senate are working on the Mawazine path and said they are approaching an agreement on spending numbers in the financial line of the 12th allocation bill for the financial year ending September 30.
It is not clear at the present time what will become these negotiations due to the presence of less than seven months in the fiscal year and that the legislative evaluation is flourishing by other articles.
“It is imminent,” said MP Rosa Deloro, De De Democrat, the best democratic for the Credit Committee in the House of Representatives on Wednesday for the potential deal. “Let’s start the process. We all want to make sure that the allocated money goes to where it was intended to go. I want to reach the credits bills in the whole year.”
The democratic opposition also repeated Johnson’s continuous decision.
She said: “The first thing to do, in my opinion, is to make sure that there is no year for the year.” “I am not sure that the other side has sounds, but it is up to them.”
One of the possibility is to pass the Stopgap Law for Johnson to buy more time negotiations, and to continue negotiating a long-term deal, and then pass the individual credits bills.
“The speaker is very insist that we go along the way” with CR, “so I agree with this decision. Cole told reporters in the Capitol on Wednesday,” It is clear that this does not mean that we cannot continue negotiating. “
He ruled out the possibility of passing a continuous decision for a week or weeks that would keep pressure on Congress to obtain a broader financing deal that would serve as a framework for the purchase of 12 bills.
“I want to do every 12; I am clear about it. But we cannot have a situation where the government’s closure has been threatened every two weeks. We have other things to do it. Obviously, we have a bill for reconciliation.
“I mean, the speaker told us,” Continue negotiating. “We prefer a deal.”
