U.S. Senate Eyes Short-term Funding To Avert Shutdown
Senate would push deadline to December 11
test

The U.S. Senate is considering a stopgap funding measure that would give Congress until December 11 to finish work on fiscal year 2027 government funding. This would provide a buffer for Congress, which would otherwise face a September 30 deadline to approve government funding, as midterm elections loom in November.

Passing a procedural vote to cut off debate on the short-term measure on Monday, the Senate was resuming consideration today; however, no set vote appeared to be scheduled as of midday. The House already has passed its own continuing resolution (CR), extending the federal government’s budget at current levels until December 4.
