Here's what’s in Republicans’ proposed deal to prevent a shutdown

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 22:42:39 GMT

House GOP leaders are pushing a new proposal that would prevent a government shutdown later this month, but opposition in the Senate and even in the Republican Conference threatens chances of passage. The plan, unveiled Sunday night, would push the Sept. 30 shutdown deadline by another month, buying time for negotiators in both chambers to hash out a larger deal on how to fund the government for most of next year. But it comes with a host of sweeteners designed to attract support from conservatives while laying the groundwork for a potential clash with Democrats in the upper chamber — if the House GOP can pass it.A dozen conservatives have already said they are planning to vote "no" or leaning that way. In the narrow House GOP majority, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) can lose only a handful of Republican votes.Here’s a rundown of what’s in the latest agreement: Extends shutdown deadline by a monthLawmakers have until the end of the month to pass legislation to prevent w...
