Capitol Shutdown Persists as Tuesday Vote on $1.2T Funding Bill Looms
TL;DR
The partial government shutdown continues into at least Tuesday as House Republicans delay a vote on the Senate-passed $1.2 trillion funding package amid Democratic opposition and intra-GOP tensions; a Monday Rules Committee meeting will set the stage for a Tuesday floor vote, but Democrats have said they won’t provide the roughly 70 votes needed under fast-track suspension, and some conservatives want to attach an elections bill, keeping passage uncertain. The package would fund most federal agencies through Sept. 30 and extend DHS funding for two weeks.
