Vance urges GOP unity to avoid government shutdown vote

House Republicans are set to vote on a bill to prevent a government shutdown. Vice President JD Vance urged party members to support the funding measure, linking it to border security and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Vance's pitch included potential future spending cuts, appealing to fiscal conservatives. The bill, backed by President Trump, aims to maintain current funding levels through fiscal year 2025. The vote is expected later today, with House GOP leaders confident in passing the bill. Some Republicans remain opposed, but Trump’s support is influencing undecided members.
