"Congress Considers Short-Term Funding Bill to Avert Government Shutdown"
TL;DR Summary
Senate Republican Whip John Thune suggests that Congress may need to pass a short-term government funding bill into March to allow time for processing outstanding appropriations bills and avoid a shutdown. Thune's comments may set up a clash with Speaker Mike Johnson, who has pledged to no longer support short-term stopgap measures. Other Republican senators also express support for a short-term continuing resolution, cautioning against a government shutdown and emphasizing the need to continue work on appropriations bills.
