"Congressional Leaders Reach Last-Minute Deal to Avert Government Shutdown"
Congressional leaders have announced a deal to fund the rest of the government through the fiscal year, but with a looming deadline, cooperation from both House and Senate members is crucial to avoid a partial government shutdown. Speaker Mike Johnson hopes to release the legislation text soon and hold a Friday vote, but GOP leaders may need to waive a 72-hour review rule. The deal faces opposition from the far right wing of the Republican conference, and any one member in the Democratic-controlled Senate can slow down the process. President Biden welcomed the agreement, and Senate Majority Leader McConnell expressed optimism about completing the appropriations process ahead of the funding deadline.
