The Senate is leapfrogging the House with a stopgap spending bill ahead of the Saturday shutdown deadline when government funding expires.
The Senate introduced a bipartisan stopgap bill on Tuesday. It would extend current funding levels until Nov. 17 and include nearly $6 billion in aid for Ukraine and $6 billion in disaster aid.
The stopgap bills that House Republicans produced but not yet advanced to a vote all included conservative policy provisions that would doom the legislation in the Democrat-led Senate. “This bipartisan CR is a temporary solution, a bridge towards cooperation and away from extremism,” said Mr. Schumer, New York Democrat.
While the short-term duration of the extended spending could help entice support from House Republicans, the spending levels, Ukraine aid and lack of border security provisions are non-starters with arch-conservatives. Members of the faction, led by Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, have likened support for extended spending to supporting Democratic policies of President Biden and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who set current spending levels.
