Budget CR will be up for a vote
-
Congressional leaders reached a deal on Sunday to fund the government through Dec. 20, dropping a GOP push to attach a conservative immigration proposal backed by former President Donald Trump.
The short-term funding bill is expected to get a vote on the House floor by mid-week as Congress races against a Sept. 30 government shutdown deadline. Last week, 14 Republicans joined with most Democrats to tank Speaker Mike Johnson’s initial plan to fund the government for six months, which included a GOP proposal that required proof of citizenship to register to vote.
Unable to pass a funding package on their own, House Republicans quietly pivoted to negotiating with Democrats on Sunday’s short-term bill, known as a continuing resolution or a CR, that would punt the funding fight until after the election. They also stripped it of partisan policies that would threaten bipartisan support needed for passage in the House. Dozens of conservatives are expected to oppose it.

Damn. I really wanted them to shut down the government right before the election.
