"Congress Grapples with $1.2 Trillion Funding Package Deadline"

Senate GOP members are prepared to delay the $1.2 trillion spending package due to dissatisfaction with the legislative process and the content of the bills. Some senators expressed frustration with the lack of time to review the 1,012-page spending package before a potential partial government shutdown. They criticized the rushed voting process and the amount of spending in the bills. The second group of appropriations bills could face additional hurdles due to its late release, with some senators expressing uncertainty about the outcome but ultimately expecting the bills to pass despite their objections.
