Federal government shutdown January 2024: Congress races to pass a short-term funding extension before Friday deadline
SUMMARY: Congress is close to averting a government shutdown by passing a short-term funding extension before a Friday deadline. The Senate is set to vote on a continuing resolution, or CR, on Thursday, with the hope that the House will follow before the deadline. Lawmakers are facing two government shutdown deadlines in early 2023, and the short-term extension will provide more time for full-year appropriations bills to be negotiated. In addition to dealing with the shutdown, Senate negotiators are working on a deal for border security that could unlock passage of aid to Ukraine and Israel, but its fate is uncertain in the House as some Republicans do not believe it would address border issues.
