Senate Takes Control of Spending Amid House Chaos
The ongoing stalemate in the House of Representatives has forced the Senate to take the lead on spending, including keeping the government funded and working on an aid package for Israel, Ukraine, and border concerns. With the House Republicans still without a Speaker, the Senate is left to handle these crucial legislative tasks. Senate leaders Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell are spearheading efforts to secure funds for Israel and Ukraine, while also addressing border issues. However, both chambers are facing challenges in advancing their respective spending bills, raising concerns about a potential omnibus bill before the end of the year.
