House GOP Tries to Line Up Support to Fund Government Through December
Share
Today will test whether House Republicans can land a one-two punch on short-term funding priorities this week and clear the decks before their August recess, handing a panoply of difficult considerations to the Senate. GOP leadership has teed up votes today to pass a continuing resolution that would fund the government between Oct. 1 and Dec. 4 in hopes of avoiding a shutdown during the midterms. Brian Gardner, Chief Washington Policy Strategist at Stifel, discusses what's on tap for congress this week, as well as the outlook for both Democrats and Republicans heading into midterms.
