Overview

• The House approved a continuing resolution 217–212 that would keep the government funded through Nov. 21, 2025.
• The measure now goes to the Senate, where Republican Leader John Thune plans votes on both the GOP bill and a competing Democratic proposal.
• Observers in both parties say neither plan currently appears to have the 60 votes needed to advance in the Senate.
• The Senate is out until Sept. 29 for Rosh Hashanah, compressing the schedule ahead of the fiscal-year deadline on Oct. 1.
• President Donald Trump said a shutdown is possible and questioned the Senate prospects for the GOP plan as Democrats debate whether to accept a compromise or risk a funding lapse.
