Congressional leaders have yet to unveil their plan to keep the government funded through the spring, prompting concerns about thwarting a shutdown before a Friday night deadline.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, who has repeatedly said that the stopgap funding measure’s release was imminent in recent days, said Tuesday morning that he expected to the text of what’s known as a continuing resolution would be made public by the end of the day. The bill would maintain current funding levels until March 14, giving lawmakers more time to reach agreement on new spending bills when the GOP controls both the House and the Senate.

“The CR is coming together, bipartisan work is ongoing,” Johnson said. “We’re almost there.”

The speaker said lawmakers have been “working around the clock to get the CR done,” noting that it was intended to be “a very simple, very clean” stopgap funding measure to get the party into the new year. But the Louisiana Republican said a “couple of intervening things” have occurred, citing the devastation caused by hurricanes Helene and Milton earlier this year. Johnson said the stopgap measure includes disaster relief that is “critically important,” and provides aid to farmers.
