Congressional leaders announce spending deal that would avert next government shutdown
SUMMARY: Congressional leaders have reached an agreement on the overall price tag of the next batch of government spending bills, setting top-line spending for fiscal year 2024 at $1.59 trillion. The deal maintains the $886 billion in defense funding and $704 billion in non-defense spending agreed to during last year's debt limit negotiations. House Republicans secured concessions, including a $10 billion cut in IRS funding and a claw-back of $6 billion in remaining COVID-19 relief funds. The agreement allows Congress to begin working on individual spending bills before the Jan. 19 government funding deadline. President Biden supports the framework, although Republicans are seeking changes related to border funds and military aid.
