What happened: President Trump is pushing House Republicans to approve a funding deal made with Senate Democrats to reopen the government. Some hard-line Republicans in the House oppose the agreement, making its passage uncertain.
Why it matters:
- A government shutdown affects federal employees and public services.
- The disagreement highlights divisions within the Republican Party.
MNN Take: The government funding deal requires approval from both chambers of Congress to prevent a shutdown. Opposition from some House Republicans could delay or block its enactment.
