The government is set to run out of money at the end of next Friday, March 14 .

Hopes of a full funding deal have faded, so President Donald Trump and congressional leaders are falling back on a short-term bill.

Democrats have pushed to include constraints on Trump and billionaire adviser Elon Musk's attempts to close down or slash agencies.

Republicans say that's a nonstarter as they support the Department of Government Efficiency -led budget cuts.

Rep. Andy Harris , R-Md. , the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus , said he was on board.

The stopgap measure doesn't codify the DOGE cuts cheered by the ultraconservative group.

House Speaker Johnson huddled with his GOP leadership team as lawmakers returned to the Capitol on Monday evening and got support for the CR plan.
