Capitol Hill is bracing for another round of government funding negotiations to avert a shutdown on October 1. Lawmakers, who return to Washington next week, will immeditately begin work on a Continuing Resolution to fund the government through the general election.

  • Politico reports that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), “is under pressure from conservatives to quickly pass a long-term spending stopgap with legislation cracking down on noncitizen voting (aka the SAVE Act) attached.
  • “That will be a no-go for the Democratic Senate and White House, so the question is just how confrontational House Republicans want to get right now.”
  • The Washington Enquirer reports that Senator Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), "is privately pushing against including the SAVE Act out of fear the partisan legislation could tank a spending deal with the Democratic-led Senate and threaten a shutdown at a pivotal time before the November elections."
  • The Hill reports that there is, “recognition among right-wing proponents that coupling the SAVE Act with a stopgap can be leverage for a bigger priority: Extending current government funding into 2025, with the intention of avoiding a sprawling, 12-bill omnibus funding package at the end of the year.”
  • Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), sponsor of the bill, said: “We can always figure out an off-ramp… Is that a one-year CR? A CR into March? But it sure as hell shouldn’t be a CR into December.”
