Woofun AI reports that U.S. President Donald Trump stated during a speech in Georgia on July 22 that the federal government is expected to face a "shutdown" in September. He attributed this risk to ongoing disagreements between Republicans and Democrats regarding spending priorities. This prediction follows the Republican-controlled House of Representatives passing a short-term funding bill on July 21, designed to fund agencies until December 4 and prevent a lapse before the November midterm elections. Known as a "continuing resolution", the bill now awaits Senate review, where Republican leaders are negotiating with Democrats and considering an alternative short-term plan. If no funding bill is enacted, most federal agency funding expires at midnight on September 30, marking the end of the current fiscal year.
