House Fails to Pass Short-Term Funding Bill, Shutdown Looms

The Republican-led House failed to pass a 30-day stopgap funding bill, with all Democrats and 21 Republicans voting against it, as a government shutdown looms. It remains uncertain what House lawmakers will do next, while the Democratic-majority Senate is considering a separate bill that the House Speaker has indicated would be rejected. If lawmakers do not act, the government will shut down on Sunday at 12:01 a.m.
