Trump and Bowser Push House for D.C. Budget Fix

President Donald Trump has publicly urged the House of Representatives to pass a measure that would restore a $1.1 billion shortfall in Washington, D.C.'s budget, following the Senate's approval of the funding fix. This comes after a continuing resolution passed by the House failed to provide D.C. the ability to manage its own budget, forcing it to revert to its 2024 budget parameters. Mayor Muriel Bowser warned that without the fix, the city would face severe cuts to public services, including education and law enforcement. Trump emphasized the need to make Washington 'CLEAN and SAFE again' and has expressed his willingness to collaborate with Bowser to achieve this. Despite Trump's support, the House has not yet voted on the measure, and its leadership has not confirmed when it will do so. The issue has gained bipartisan attention, with many considering the initial budget oversight a mistake that needs urgent correction.
