Talks to avoid government shutdown are underway

^{Published on 2024-12-11 16:00:58 - MSN}

The year for lawmakers is winding down and there is still a lot to do including keeping the government open. That deadline is next Friday.

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing negotiations in Congress to prevent a government shutdown as the deadline approaches. With the current funding set to expire, both the House and Senate are engaged in talks to pass a continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government funded temporarily. House Speaker Mike Johnson has proposed a CR that includes a border security bill, which has met with resistance from some Democrats and even some Republicans. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has expressed openness to a "clean" CR without additional policy riders, highlighting the tension between the two chambers. The discussions are critical as failure to reach an agreement would lead to a shutdown, affecting federal employees and numerous government services. The urgency of the situation is underscored by the looming deadline, with both parties needing to find common ground to ensure government operations continue uninterrupted.
