House GOP leaders are looking to punt a deal on government funding into early next year, hoping to leave it until after a new administration has been sworn into the White House and possible new majorities are settled in both chambers of Congress.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is expected to unveil his plan for government spending when lawmakers reconvene next week. The plan would extend the funding deadline into March 2025, a source familiar with the matter told the Washington Examiner. The five-month continuing resolution would extend the same funding levels that were agreed to for fiscal 2024 by then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and President Joe Biden.
