Senate mulls its own stopgap as House pushes a separate funding patch
TL;DR Summary
Top Senate appropriators are weighing a Senate-only stopgap with 'anomalies' (exemptions) to keep government funded, while House Republicans move a separate, clean stopgap through Dec. 4. The White House wants some anomalies included; Senate Democrats, led by Patty Murray, are wary of House flaws and are considering their own package with tweaks. The situation sets up a potential clash over funding rules as the fiscal year approaches and the full appropriations process stalls.
