  • The Republicans who control the U.S. House of Representatives plan to vote on Tuesday on a six-month stopgap funding bill to fund the government through September 30, when the current 2025 fiscal year ends.

The article discusses a new six-month stopgap funding bill proposed by House Republicans to prevent a government shutdown. This bill, known as a continuing resolution (CR), would extend federal funding at current levels until early March 2024. Key features include an 8% cut to most discretionary spending, excluding defense, veterans' affairs, and disaster relief. It also incorporates elements of the GOP's border security bill, H.R. 2, aiming to tighten immigration policies. However, this proposal has met with resistance from both Democrats, who oppose the spending cuts and immigration measures, and some conservative Republicans, who argue it does not go far enough in reducing expenditures. The bill's passage is uncertain as it requires bipartisan support in the Senate, where Democrats hold a majority, and President Biden has indicated he would veto it if it reaches his desk.
