House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., aims to hold a vote on Tuesday on a bill to fund the government past March 14, a move needed to avert a partial shutdown of agencies, he told reporters Thursday.
The bill, a continuing resolution that would continue to fund the government at current levels, could be unveiled as soon as Friday, said Johnson, who leads a narrow 218-214 majority.
The measure would need to clear the House and the Senate, where Republicans hold a 53-47 majority, to be sent to President Donald Trump to sign into law.
