Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Senate Democrats and Republicans worked over the weekend on a stopgap bill and struck a deal on Tuesday, calling it a 'good, sensible and bipartisan bill.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Senate Democrats and Republicans worked over the weekend on a stopgap bill and struck a deal on Tuesday, calling it a"good, sensible and bipartisan bill.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called the deal a “standard short-term continuing resolution,” saying that it buys time for the full appropriations process to play out. “Sen. Collins, Sen. Murray, and our colleagues on the Appropriations Committee have worked diligently to help the Senate fulfill our commitment to funding the government through regular order. As that important work continues, colleagues in both chambers are rightly concerned about a number of distinct priorities,” he added.
Congress has until Saturday night to pass a dozen appropriations bills that will fund the federal government for another year — or a short-term deal to extend funding while negotiations continue.
