Trump and Democrats in standoff over budget cuts

President Trump and Democrats are in a standoff over a potential government shutdown. House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, proposed a continuing resolution that cuts funding for various programs, which Democrats have rejected. The proposed resolution aims to keep the government funded until the end of the year but faces opposition from Democrats due to significant cuts, including to veterans' programs. Johnson has Trump's support, which may help unify Republicans. The bill must pass in the Senate, requiring 60 votes. Both parties are under pressure as the government runs out of money on Friday, with Congress set to recess next week.
