Congress voting on a short-term spending deal

Congressional leaders have reached a short-term spending deal to keep the government open until March¹².

This agreement was reached with only a few days left on its current deadline¹. The deal is being pushed forward to avoid a government shutdown³.

However, House Speaker Mike Johnson is facing a challenge in gathering enough votes from the GOP to pass the continuing resolution¹³.

This would be the third short-term spending deal³. The aim of these short-term deals is to buy time for negotiators to reach a comprehensive spending deal that would keep the government funded at least through September⁴.
