Congress Faces Midnight Funding Deadline

US

Fox's Chad Pergram sums up today's Congressional docket:

  • "Talks continue behind the scenes today on a potential coronavirus package. But unclear what the path forward is. Also work on the omnibus spending bill"
  • "Senate today takes procedural vote to end debate on final version of defense bill. It's possible the Senate could take last vote on the bill itself, too - if there's an agreement to proceed"
  • "Senate still has not approved stopgap spending measure to avert a shutdown this wknd. Senate could do that today. Otherwise, gov't shuts down after 11:59:59 pm et tonight. Bill funds gov't through December 18"
