Massie is a hard no.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The administration and House GOP leaders believe a shutdown would be catastrophic and interfere with adopting Trump&#8217;s agenda.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>House Democratic leaders oppose the package. They believe Republicans should pass the bill themselves since they didn\u2019t negotiate with Democrats. However, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., refused to answer when asked twice yesterday if all Democrats would vote nay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are somewhat torn. On the one hand, they believe a shutdown could impede DOGE. On the other, they fear that a shutdown could embolden Elon Musk to shutter programs that are closed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The vote comes today sometime after 4 p.m. ET.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Even if the bill passes, the measure faces an unclear future in the Senate. Even if all 53 Senate Republicans vote yes, they need seven Democrats to break a filibuster.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The deadline to fund the government comes at 11:59:59 p.m. ET Friday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>This post appeared first on FOX NEWS<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House is poised to debate and vote on an interim spending bill to avoid a government shutdown early Saturday morning.&nbsp; This bill renews all Biden-era funding numbers.
