"House Republicans Scramble for Shutdown Solution Amidst Uncertainty"
US House Republicans, who hold a slim majority, are struggling to agree on a government funding plan to prevent a shutdown as the deadline approaches. They are debating options for a stopgap measure known as a continuing resolution (CR) to temporarily fund federal agencies after November 17. Some Republicans are pushing for a laddered CR to pressure the Democratic-led Senate into agreeing on full-year funding bills for 2024, while others prefer a standard CR without conditions that can pass with bipartisan support. Negotiating with the Senate on a "clean" CR is also being considered. The House has passed seven Republican spending bills, while the Senate has passed three bipartisan appropriations bills.
