The House of Representatives is set to vote May 3 on a bipartisan funding bill to keep the government open through the end of fiscal year 2017.
That bill is expected to pass easily and be signed into law by President Donald Trump.
However, a victory lap by congressional Democrats, touting the defeat of Trump administration requests for supplemental funding for a border wall with Mexico and sudden, drastic cuts to some civilian-side agencies, may have triggered the president into threatening a future shutdown.
