"Congress Nears Deal to Avert Government Shutdown, Extends Funding Deadlines"

The House is set to vote on a short-term spending bill to extend federal funding deadlines, preventing a government shutdown that would affect critical services and programs. The bill aims to buy more time for lawmakers to finalize annual spending bills, but faces opposition from far-right Republicans who want deeper spending cuts and conservative policy provisions. House Speaker Mike Johnson must navigate delicate negotiations and court support from Democrats due to a narrow GOP majority, as the deadline to prevent a shutdown approaches.

"Congress Averts Shutdown with Short-Term Funding Bill Passage"

Congress has passed a short-term spending bill to avert a government shutdown, extending funding deadlines to March 1 and March 8. Speaker Mike Johnson faced opposition from conservative Republicans but secured enough Democratic support for the measure. Challenges remain for Johnson as he aims to secure conservative policy riders in appropriations bills and faces frustration over his handling of government funding matters. Lawmakers are concerned about the pace of negotiations and the potential need for another stopgap bill in March, as deep partisan divides persist over spending.

Speaker Johnson's Leadership Crucial in Avoiding Government Shutdown

Conservatives in the GOP have expressed trust in new Speaker Mike Johnson, indicating that they would support him in bringing a short-term spending bill to avert a government shutdown if necessary. These conservatives, who opposed the previous Speaker's clean continuing resolution, believe that Johnson has the credibility and trust to negotiate a bill that meets their preconditions, such as true savings and border security. While some lawmakers are open to considering a CR, they emphasize the need for Congress to continue its appropriations work and pass the remaining bills with conservative wins. Johnson's leadership is seen as bringing a new level of trust and a commitment to advancing the conservative agenda.

House Passes 'Clean' Stopgap Funding Bill, Averting Government Shutdown

The House of Representatives has passed a short-term spending bill in an effort to avoid a government shutdown, with the bill now heading to the Senate for approval. The funding patch will last for 45 days past the end of the fiscal year and includes $16 billion for U.S. disaster relief aid. House lawmakers from both parties applauded the rare moment of bipartisanship after the bill passed. However, it remains uncertain if Democrats will support the bill, as they may hold out for the Senate's proposal, which includes funding for Ukraine aid.

"House Vote on Partisan Spending Plan Amplifies Government Shutdown Fears"

House GOP leaders are preparing to vote on a partisan, short-term spending bill to fund the federal government through Oct. 31, but it has no chance of passing in the Senate or being signed by President Joe Biden. The bill faces opposition from Democrats and conservative House Republicans, jeopardizing its passage. The Senate has already advanced its own short-term funding bill, which may be amended to include stronger border security measures demanded by House Republicans. The government is scheduled to shut down if a funding bill is not approved by Congress and signed into law by Biden.
