"Congress Races to Secure Government Funding and Avert Shutdown"

Speaker Mike Johnson outlines the plan to avert a government shutdown by releasing the newly negotiated bill text for the funding package, which includes aid for Ukraine and Israel, by Wednesday afternoon. The Department of Homeland Security bill was the most difficult to negotiate due to a wide gap between the two parties. Lawmakers are up against the clock to prevent a shutdown before the Friday deadline, with the House and Senate needing time to review and process the legislation. Republican wins in the package include border enforcement and defense spending, while the path forward for Ukraine funding is still being debated.
