Senate Reaches Bipartisan, Short-Term Deal To Kick Budget Down The Road

Senators reached a bipartisan agreement on a continuing resolution in hopes of avoiding a government shutdown, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced on Tuesday.
Funding for the federal government will expire at 11:59 p.m. EST on Saturday, with House Republicans so far having been unable to achieve consensus within their conference on a continuing resolution to temporarily maintain funding until all appropriations bills are passed.
Schumer announced on Tuesday that negotiations between senators have produced a draft bill that the House may consider, according to a post on Twitter, now known as X.
