House Votes to Avert Government Shutdown Before Midterm Elections
Confirmed
The House voted Tuesday to extend federal spending at current levels with a few exceptions through Dec. 11, punting the funding fight until after the midterm elections. Now, whether we can do that or not is another matter,” Cole said, referring to the 12 appropriations bills that fund the government.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., said she hopes to become chair of the Appropriations Committee again if Democrats win the House. Lawmakers eventually voted to reopen the government, approving bipartisan appropriations bills covering each federal agency.
But she said her only priority now is to finalize a full government funding deal for the new fiscal year before 2027 begins.
