Congress Races to Pass Spending Bills to Avoid Government Shutdown | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The race is on to pass 6 spending bills by Friday to avoid a partial government shutdown. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans are already jockeying for leadership roles inside the party, after Mitch McConnell announced he plans to step down as the Senate's top Republican come November. For the second time in as many weeks, lawmakers are scrambling to avoid a partial shutdown as another funding deadline looms. After months of averting shutdowns at the eleventh hour with stopgap bills, over the weekend, negotiators may finally have reached a critical compromise. Top lawmakers are working to pass six bipartisan appropriations bills rolled into one. The package will fund the military and veterans affairs, transportation, energy, housing and the WIC program, providing needy families with assistance.
