Congressional leaders are planning to pass a two-tiered stopgap funding patch that would keep federal agencies running on different timeframes until March. Some federal agencies funding would expire on March 1 while others would continue until March 8. House Speaker Mike Johnson, who previously rejected the notion of another short-term funding extension, is now backing the plan. The second tier is expected to require support from Democrats to pass the House, which has upset conservative Republicans. The funding framework for the current fiscal year aligns with the budget totals set by President Joe Biden and former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
