Senate will move stopgap funding bill as government shutdown looms

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced plans to advance a bipartisan government funding bill after Speaker Mike Johnson’s partisan six-month funding measure, linked to voter registration reform, failed to pass.

Schumer stated the Senate may need to act first to avoid a government shutdown, which could occur if a funding plan isn’t approved by September 30.

Johnson has yet to present an alternative bill that can secure enough votes in the House.
