A group of conservative House members, including House Freedom Caucus leaders, will meet with President Biden at the White House to discuss preventing a government shutdown.
This follows a budget reconciliation battle within the GOP over President Trump’s agenda.
Congress has delayed discussions on funding for fiscal year 2025, relying on short-term continuing resolutions to avoid shutdowns. A new resolution, endorsed by Trump, seeks to extend funding until the end of fiscal 2025. However, Democrats and Republicans are at odds over conditions, particularly regarding Trump’s spending authority.
Conservative GOP members, like Rep. Ralph Norman, are cautiously supportive of the resolution, hopeful that Trump’s push for reducing government waste will sway their stance.
