The White House has taken proactive steps to prepare for a potential government shutdown as the deadline for annual funding approaches. In an email sent to staff on Thursday, initial guidance was provided outlining the necessary preparations in case of a lapse in government funding.
The email highlighted that the funding for much of the government is set to expire on Friday, December 20th, emphasizing the urgency for Congress to finalize appropriations for Fiscal Year 2025. Should a shutdown occur, all components of the Executive Office of the President and their employees would be impacted.
