WASHINGTON (Reuters) โ U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Sunday he hoped to pass a โcleanโ stopgap federal funding bill that would freeze funding at current levels to avert a partial government shutdown that could otherwise go into effect on March 15.
โWe are working hard to do our responsibility to keep the government open. Democrats have to help negotiate this,โ Johnson said in an interview on NBCโs โMeet the Press.โ
