Trump supports government shutdown as McCarthy, House GOP face new challenges in spending fight

In Washington, there's a big problem. The government might have to stop working, and it's causing a lot of arguments among the people in charge. This could mess up things for Americans and how the country runs. Even Donald Trump, who's trying to become the next president, is saying he's okay with the government stopping.

The person in charge of the House, Kevin McCarthy, is trying to make the people who really want the government to stop happy. But at the same time, he's getting pressure from Democrats and other Republicans who want to keep the government going. They have until September 30th to figure it out.

A powerful Republican named Mitch McConnell is warning that if the government stops, it'll hurt the Republican Party. He's saying that shutting down the government doesn't help anyone and always makes Republicans look bad.

Donald Trump is making things even more complicated. He's telling Republicans to stop the government unless they get what they want. He thinks the government is spending too much money and wants to change things.

Some Republicans in the House came up with a plan to keep the government going for a little while longer, but it means cutting the money for a lot of government things by 8%. It also has some rules for border security that many Republicans like. But not everyone is happy with this plan. Some Republicans don't like it, and Democrats in charge of the Senate don't want it because it doesn't include help for Ukraine.

Kevin McCarthy, the House leader, is trying to get everyone to agree on this plan. He thinks there's still time to make the people who really want the government to stop happy. But it's not easy, and things are moving very slowly.

As the deadline gets closer, Democrats are talking to some Republicans who want to keep the government going. They're making a backup plan just in case the first plan doesn't work. They don't want the government to stop, and they think there are better ways to solve problems than shutting it down.

If the government does stop, it will affect lots of things. Some government workers, like air traffic controllers and border patrol, will have to keep working without getting paid. Others might have to stop working temporarily. Things like food safety checks could be delayed, and national parks might not be fully open. So, it's a big problem, and they need to figure it out soon. Please Share This Article
