Trump warns of potential government shutdown without funding bill

Former President Trump warned that a government shutdown could occur if the House does not pass a six-month funding bill by March 14. He expressed uncertainty but indicated that he believes the bill will pass. The House Republicans introduced a stopgap spending bill on Saturday, with a vote scheduled for Tuesday. Trump's backing of the bill aims to rally support among hardline Republicans who have opposed similar measures in the past. The proposed continuing resolution would maintain government funding at current levels until the end of the fiscal year on September 30. The House currently has a narrow Republican majority of 218-214.
