Government Averted a Shutdown. Here's What Happens Next
b'
Congress has averted a government shutdown\\u2014for now.
The continuing resolution passed Saturday keeps government agencies funded at current levels until Nov. 17. The bill passed 335-91 in the House and 88-9 in the Senate.
But it\\u2019s a short-term fix, and lawmakers remain on a tight deadline to finish passing 12 annual appropriations bills. Republicans continue to demand federal spending cuts and money to secure America\\u2019s southern border, and Democrats are demanding more aid for Ukraine.
\\u201cI think what\\u2019s likely here is, you\\u2019re going to get a little bit of both, not enough to make either side happy,\\u201d budget expert Richard Stern says.
Stern, director of the Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget at The Heritage Foundation, joins \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\\u201d to explain what to expect in Congress as spending fights continue over the next six weeks, and how a possible change in House leadership might affect negotiations.
