Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Jan. 14 evening unveiled the text of another stopgap funding bill that is set to be brought to the floor this week ahead of a key shutdown deadline.
The bill, known as a continuing resolution (CR), would fund the government at current levels and extend the deadlines for a government shutdown to March 1 and March 8.
“The bipartisan topline funding agreement reached ensures that America will be able to address many of the major challenges our country faces at home and abroad,” Mr. Schumer said in a statement.
“To avoid a shutdown, it will take bipartisan cooperation in the Senate and the House to quickly pass the CR and send it to the President’s desk before Friday’s funding deadline,” the Senate majority leader added.
The deal was negotiated between Mr. Schumer, Mr. Johnson (R-La.), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and the White House.
