A plan backed by former President Donald Trump to avoid a government shutdown is facing significant opposition from conservative Republicans and most House Democrats. The bill, which requires a two-thirds majority in the House to pass, is unlikely to garner enough support for approval.
If all members are present, the bill would need 290 votes to pass, but with Republicans holding 219 seats, it appears challenging to reach the required threshold. Anticipated absences further complicate the situation, making the passage even more uncertain.
