Trump lobbies House Republicans for shutdown prevention vote

Former President Donald Trump is actively reaching out to House Republicans to secure votes for a bill aimed at preventing a partial government shutdown. The vote is scheduled for late Tuesday, with Trump expected to speak directly to critics of the bill. House Republicans are proposing a continuing resolution to extend funding at current levels. Unlike previous situations, Democratic leaders have indicated they will not oppose the bill en masse, potentially allowing some moderate Democrats to support it. Despite Trump's efforts, some Republicans remain undecided or opposed, including Rep. Thomas Massie. The White House has not confirmed whether it has contacted all dissenting lawmakers.
