Congress Unveils Stopgap Bill to Avert Government Shutdown Through March 14, Including $100 Billion in Emergency Aid, Vote Thursday Night
Dec 19, 2024, 08:42 PM
Top congressional leaders in the United States have unveiled a bipartisan stopgap measure aimed at preventing a partial government shutdown. The proposed legislation will extend federal funding through March 14, providing lawmakers additional time to negotiate new spending bills. The urgency arises as the current funding is set to expire soon, with a government shutdown potentially beginning on Saturday. The stopgap measure includes over $100 billion in emergency aid, reflecting a collaborative effort between both Republicans and Democrats to maintain government operations and avoid disruption to federal services. House Republicans have indicated they will vote on the measure as soon as Thursday night, ahead of the looming deadline.
