Congress Faces Funding Standoff Amid Ongoing Government Shutdown
As the partial government shutdown enters its fourth day, House Democrats express frustration over a Senate spending deal. Key House conservatives are aligning with Trump in an effort to gain support for a vote aimed at ending the shutdown swiftly. Speaker Johnson is working hard to corral Republican votes but faces challenges from hardliners within his party. The funding standoff continues, with a possible vote in the House expected soon, as Trump lends his support to end the impasse. Lawmakers are hopeful to restore government funding and address ICE reform, but bipartisan resistance complicates the path forward. Meanwhile, the White House remains optimistic for a resolution, urging Congress to act quickly.
