The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a continuing resolution, H.R. 1968, known as the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025. This measure now moves to the U.S. Senate for further consideration. The current government funding is set to expire at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, March 14.

Following the approval of the continuing resolution, Congressman Morgan Griffith from Virginia issued a statement explaining his position on the matter.

"While I generally do not support continuing resolutions, any delay in passing a government funding measure would interrupt the Trump Administration’s significant progress in securing our border and reining in government spending," said Griffith. "As a result of their progress, border crossings at our southwest border are at historic lows and the government is going through an efficiency review."

Griffith concluded by stating his support for the bill: "Accordingly, I supported the government funding bill to help President Trump carry out his popular agenda."
