Shutdown imminent as House, Senate hold split courses on US government funding
Saturday, 30 September 2023 The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on a stopgap funding bill to avoid a government shutdown, according to Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The bill, which would extend funding for 45 days, requires Democratic votes and may face opposition from hardliners in both parties. However, time is running short, as the bill may not make it through the Democratic-majority Senate and be signed into law by President Joe Biden before funding expires.
