Trump pressures House Republicans for controversial funding bill vote

President Donald Trump is urging House Republicans to support a government funding bill that proposes significant cuts to infrastructure, education, and veterans' health care. The bill also increases funding for immigration enforcement. House Republicans aim to pass it quickly to avoid blame for a potential government shutdown. Some Republicans remain undecided, including Rep. Thomas Massie, who has stated he will vote against the bill. Trump is pressuring these lawmakers to align with the party, suggesting that the administration will withhold funds if the bill passes. House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed confidence that the bill will pass, despite opposition from Democrats. The deadline for funding is Friday at midnight, and Trump has threatened to challenge Massie in a primary for his dissent.
