Conservative House members, including leaders of the House Freedom Caucus, are scheduled to meet with President Biden at the White House to discuss strategies to prevent a government shutdown.
This meeting follows internal GOP debates over President Trump’s agenda, particularly concerning the budget reconciliation process. Congress has postponed discussions on funding for fiscal year 2025, relying on short-term continuing resolutions to avert shutdowns. A new resolution, endorsed by Trump, aims to extend funding until the end of fiscal 2025. However, disagreements persist between Democrats and Republicans, especially regarding Trump’s spending authority.
Conservative GOP members, such as Rep. Ralph Norman, have expressed cautious support for the resolution, hoping that Trump’s emphasis on reducing government waste will influence their position.
