About this sermon
Congress is now in a race against time to keep the government open past the end of the month, but the Senate and House Republicans are in 2 different places and the standoff poses a challenge to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Some House Republicans are even threatening to shut down the government at the end of the month. The House returns next week but only plans to work Tuesday and Wednesday and then go home. The government will shutdown on October 1st unless lawmakers pass a spending bill. Republican Senators say they don't plan on supporting a government spending package combining multiple bills into one omnibus. Senator Lindsey Graham says, "We're headed to a December effort by Schumer to put an omnibus together that funds most of the government, one bill. We are not going to do that again." Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says combining 3 bipartisan spending bills, that includes Ukraine war funding and disaster relief in the US, into one omnibus is the only way to get it done on time.
