Congress is up against the clock to avoid a federal government shutdown ahead of an Oct. 1 deadline.
Just hours before a government shutdown, the House planned to vote on a measure to keep the government open for 45 days at current spending levels, adding money for U.S.
disaster relief but none of the billions of dollars for Ukraine that the White House has sought, Rules Chairman Tom Cole told reporters. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the bill would pass the House or what its fate in the Senate would be. The government will shut down at 12:01 a.m. Sunday if a deal is not reached.
