BREAKING: Senate leaders announce stopgap funding deal to avert shutdown
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced Wednesday that a short-term bill to fund the government through Feb. 8 will be introduced later today in a deal that would avert a partial government shutdown over the Christmas holiday.
The resolution will not include $5 billion for the border wall that President Donald Trump had said was necessary for his approval. The White House, without saying it would support a stopgap measure, has insisted in recent days that Congress must pass something before the government's operating authority expires on Friday. Now the confrontation over the wall may be postponed until the next Congress, when Democrats will control the House.
DO SOMETHING!
