We're 9 days away from a government shutdown. While no one expects a government shutdown, the process of funding the government hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing. Here’s the latest on the funding fight 👇
Congressional leaders missed a self-imposed deadline on Friday to strike an agreement on legislation that would keep the government open through Dec. 11, with House Democrats now hoping to file the stopgap spending bill by Monday.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin were ticking through some of the biggest unresolved issues on Friday, congressional aides said. Earlier in the afternoon, it had appeared Democrats agreed to provide the farmer bailout in exchange for $2 billion in pandemic-related food assistance to help families with school-age children buy groceries.Democrats also dropped a contentious request that would extend the Census Bureau’s Dec.
Democrats originally opposed a GOP demand to ensure that farmer bailout payments can keep flowing through the Commodity Credit Corporation, which otherwise would soon run into its $30 billion borrowing limit. Despite the discord with less than two weeks until a federal funding lapse, lawmakers and White House officials have signaled that a catastrophic government shutdown — which would throw the country into further turmoil during the pandemic just before the presidential election — isn’t a concern.“The cleaner it is, the quicker it will be,” he said of provisions that could be tacked onto the continuing resolution.
