Trump allies with Rep. Harris for government funding plan

Republican Rep. Andy Harris is rallying support for a government funding plan backed by former President Trump. This plan aims to prevent a partial government shutdown after March 14 by extending funding at current levels for six months. Harris, chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, believes that passing this continuing resolution will help Republicans prioritize Trump's legislative agenda. Many fiscal conservatives previously opposed such short-term funding but are now considering support due to the unusual circumstances. House Speaker Mike Johnson needs majority support from Republicans, as Democrats may vote against the plan. Some Republicans, like Rep. Thomas Massie, have already announced their opposition. Harris remains optimistic that enough GOP members will back the resolution.
