Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) told ABC News Live on Monday that he hasn’t made up his mind yet on whether to vote yes for the continuing resolution to avert a government shutdown.
“Honestly, I’m going to pray about it,” he said when asked if he will vote yes on the measure. “I expect I’ll get a call from the president once he sees this report, but I haven’t committed yet.”
“I have not yet made up my mind,” he added.

Burchett said he did not support an increase in funding for the Pentagon included in the stopgap measure, noting that the Defense Department has repeatedly failed to pass its annual audit to account for its budget.
The House is expected to move forward with a vote on House Speaker Mike Johnson’s government funding plan as early as Tuesday without the support from Democrats.
Trump begged Republicans over the weekend to support Johnson’s bill to avert a government shutdown.
