President Donald Trump has come out in favor of funding the government at current levels ahead of a March 14 deadline.

“Joe Biden left us a total MESS. The Budget from last YEAR is still not done. We are working very hard with the House and Senate to pass a clean, temporary government funding Bill (‘CR’) to the end of September. Let’s get it done!” he wrote in a post on Truth Social on Feb. 27.
