Senator Ted Cruz expressed confidence that the U.S. government will avoid a shutdown on Saturday, suggesting that Democrats are likely to back down. In an interview on Yahoo Finance's podcast, he mentioned ongoing discussions over bipartisan funding resolutions, while warning that internal pressures from the left could push Democrats to consider a shutdown. House Republicans have proposed a continuing resolution to maintain government operations with specific spending adjustments, but Senate Democrats have shown opposition to this approach.
