Senators released a short-term CR to prevent a government shutdown, funding until Nov. 17 with reduced allocations for Ukraine and no provision for border security.
FOX News’ Jennifer Griffin reports on how the potential government shutdown would impact the Department of Defense as well as U.S. foreign policy interests.
The House and Senate must come to some kind of agreement on how to fund the government by the end of the fiscal year, Sept. 30, or risk a partial government shutdown. "I will oppose any effort to hold the federal government hostage for Ukraine funding, I will not consent to expedited passage of any spending measure that provides any more US aid to Ukraine," Rand posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.where House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., indicated aid to Ukraine should be a standalone bill and may not give the Senate-authored CR a House vote.
"The Republicans will put on the floor a move to secure our border. I think that's the appropriate way to be able to keep government funded, secure border while we continue to keep government open to work on the rest of the appropriations process," McCarthy told reporters in the morning.Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell"This bipartisan CR is a temporary solution, a bridge towards cooperation and away from extremism," Schumer said.
