Trump optimistic about avoiding government shutdown vote

President Trump stated that a government shutdown is possible but remains hopeful that a temporary funding bill will pass. The House is set to vote on a continuing resolution to fund the government through September 2025. Trump's support for the bill aims to unify Republicans, who hold a narrow majority in the House. A vote on the six-month stopgap spending bill is expected on Tuesday. His encouragement has swayed some hardline Republicans who previously opposed similar funding measures, which is critical for the bill's approval.
