MOSCOW (Sputnik) – US Republican Party lawmakers in the House of Representatives are predicting a federal government shutdown in the absence of a decision on further funding, as House Speaker Mike Johnson will have to seek a solution, Axios reported on Wednesday, citing an unnamed Republican Party lawmaker in the House of Representatives.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“People are predicting a shutdown even if it’s just for a few days<\/em>,” the Republican lawmaker said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US government will face a partial shutdown<\/a> if it does not pass a budget or a stopgap spending measure by March 1, the news portal reported. Meanwhile, the possibility of a total shutdown<\/a> will become a reality if neither a budget or spending stopgap is reached by March 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson was quoted<\/a> as saying last week that the House would meet the deadlines.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the House speaker is about to face a double-edged choice after members of the US Congress<\/a> return from a recess: to continue to fight House Democrats on the budget, which threatens the lack of a solution to fund the government, or make a deal with them, which could jeopardize his own office, the news outlet reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, as one of the House subcommittee chairs was quoted as saying to a Republican colleague, they’re either “close to reaching a deal or it’s about to blow up<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The critical decision must be made by April 30<\/strong> or a 1% across-the-board spending cut will take effect, the report said.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
