US EditionGovernment Shutdown Nears Possible End as Funding Fight Turns to the House
The Senate passed a five-bill funding package to end the partial government shutdown, but GOP conservative objections and Democratic opposition to DHS funding pose challenges.
- On Monday, the House returned to Washington to consider the Senate-passed funding package, with House Speaker Mike Johnson saying leaders aim to approve it by Tuesday.
- House Republicans are split over DHS funding and immigration changes as the Senate passed five appropriations bills plus a short-term DHS extension, but disputes and demands like the SAVE Act stalled the deal.
- Sending the package to the House Rules Committee, Johnson said, `I have a lot of conversations to have with individual Republican members over the next 24 hours or so` and warned `We have a logistical challenge of getting everyone in town.`
- With funding lapsed, key federal agencies are immediately affected as the lapse halted funding for Defense, Homeland Security, State, Treasury, Labor, HHS, Education and Transportation.
- With presidential pressure mounting, President Donald Trump urged House Republicans to pass the Senate package without amendments, warning `There can be NO CHANGES at this time` amid concerns over last fall's 43-day shutdown.
