US Congress passes spending bill to avert government shutdown and fund federal government until after elections

ai generated text

US congressional leaders have agreed to a short-term funding deal to avoid a government shutdown before the November election. The deal, which will fund the government for three months, includes an additional $231 million to bolster the Secret Service after two assassination attempts against Donald Trump. The funding package also includes money to aid with the presidential transition. The deal is seen as a temporary solution to avert a shutdown, with lawmakers struggling to reach an agreement before the current budget year ends.

  1. US
    Hakeem Jeffries
    Democratic Party
    1. Congress is now on a bipartisan path to avoid a government shutdown that would hurt everyday Americans.
  2. US
    Chuck Schumer
    Democratic Party
    1. While I am pleased bipartisan negotiations quickly led to a government funding agreement free of cuts and poison pills, this same agreement could have been done two weeks ago.
    2. Instead, Speaker Johnson chose to follow the Maga way and wasted precious time.
    3. As I have said throughout this process, there is only one way to get things done, with bipartisan, bicameral support.
  3. US
    Tom Cole
    Republican Party
    1. Most people don't want a government shutdown and they don't want that to interfere with the election. So nobody is like, 'I've got to have this or we're walking.' It's just not that way.
    2. So far, nothing has come up that we can't deal with.
  4. US
    Mike Johnson
    Republican Party
    1. As history has taught and current polling affirms, shutting the government down less than 40 days from a fateful election would be an act of political malpractice.
    2. While this is not the solution any of us prefer, it is the most prudent path forward under the present circumstances.
