Republicans look to push government funding into early 2025, in Trump's term

Sahil Kapur is a senior national political reporter for NBC News.

WASHINGTON — Congress faces a Dec. 20 deadline to fund the government and avert a shutdown, and Speaker Mike Johnson says House Republicans will probably push the fight into early 2025 rather than reach a full-year funding deal this year. “We’re running out of clock. December 20 is the deadline.

And then then we should be actually working on the next year’s appropriations.” But even if they push the fight to early 2025, Republicans won’t have full control over spending decisions. Government funding legislation is subject to the 60-vote threshold in the Senate, which top Republicans have promised to preserve. That means they’ll have to reach a deal with Democrats, who currently control the Senate and want to pass full-year funding this year, not in 2025.
