Endgame not yet clear as lawmakers await CR

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the U.S. Congress's efforts to pass a continuing resolution (CR) to avoid a government shutdown. As the deadline approaches, there is no clear consensus on how to proceed, with various proposals being floated. House Speaker Mike Johnson has suggested a "laddered" CR, which would extend funding for different parts of the government at different times, aiming to avoid a massive omnibus spending bill at the end of the fiscal year. However, this approach has met with resistance from both parties. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has criticized the plan, and there's a general push towards a "clean" CR that would extend current funding levels without additional policy riders. Amidst this, there's also mention of potential side deals, like aid to Ukraine and Israel, which could be attached to the CR. The situation remains fluid with lawmakers still negotiating, and the endgame is not yet clear as they work against the clock to prevent a shutdown.
