Breaking news: Bill to avert shutdown and fund federal government until Dec. 16 passes in Senate
After Manchin’s concession Tuesday, the permitting language was dropped from the bill. All Republicans and some Democrats had opposed that measure, raising the prospect last week that a fight over the issue might have led to a government shutdown.
Democrats and Republicans are staring down polling data that shows control of both chambers of Congress is essentially a toss-up. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters Wednesday that a GOP majority in the upper chamber was a “50-50 shot.” That funding, Democratic leaders have said, is crucial. Ukraine’s forces have staged counteroffensives in recent weeks to liberate territory formerly controlled by Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin last week drafted up to 300,000 reservists to prosecute the Kremlin’s waning attack and warned that nuclear weapons might not be off-limits in the conflict.
Resources to help Florida recover from Hurricane Ian, which struck the peninsula Wednesday as a Category 4 storm, may be included in subsequent funding packages, lawmakers said. Congress will have to pass a full budget or another continuing resolution in the “lame duck” session after the Nov. 8 elections to avoid another shutdown.“We’ll be negotiating quietly the next few weeks. We’ll get it done,” Sen. Patrick J.
“Covid’s over, so we don’t need any more money for that,” Cornyn said. “The truth is there’s still a lot of money sloshing around that, if there’s still needs — it needs to be reprogrammed.”The bill also does not include Manchin’s environmental permitting measures for new energy projects. Manchin and Schumer struck a deal this summer to link the Manchin’s support for the Inflation Reduction Act to a vote on permitting.
