Congressional leaders are reportedly close to finalizing a stopgap funding bill that would extend federal government spending authority until March 1 and March 8, with March 8/15 also under consideration. This measure follows the 'laddered' funding approach advocated by Speaker Johnson. While not yet final, an announcement is anticipated over the weekend, as reported by Punchbowl News and others. Both the House and Senate leadership have agreed on this continuing resolution (CR), per sources involved/aware and a source familiar with the matter. A vote on the CR is expected to take place next week, with the House GOP scheduled to hold a call to discuss the matter, confirmed by a House Republican and another source.
