Senate Pushes Shutdown Avoidance Bill | Washington DC News

The Senate is racing to pass a last-minute stopgap spending bill before their August recess, aiming to keep the government running until December 11th and avoid a third shutdown in just ten months. While Majority Leader John Thune insists this is his top priority, Democrats push back, noting the bill omits key White House requests like funding for new “Trump-class” battleships and includes language blocking funds from being redirected to Border Patrol. The bill now heads to the House, where approval remains uncertain as lawmakers brace for another potential fiscal showdown.
