"Congressional Leaders Express Optimism in Avoiding Shutdown and Intense Ukraine Discussion"

With just days to go before the deadline, there is pressure to reach a spending deal amidst objections from right-wing lawmakers, and while progress has been made, it remains uncertain whether an agreement will be reached before the funding deadline.
