House Expected To Vote On Short-Term Govt Funding Measure Wednesday

US
Homepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsPolitical Market News

On Sunday, Congressional appropriators released a 49-page continuing resolution to fund federal government agencies for three months and avert a government shutdown on October 1. The CR includes USD$231 million for the Secret Service but doesn’t include the partisan SAVE Act - legislation backed by former President Donald Trump -, new disaster aid, or USD$12 billion for the Department of Veterans Affairs requested by the White House. A House vote is likely to take place on Wednesday.

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said in a letter to colleagues, “shutting the government down less than 40 days from a fateful election would be an act of political malpractice” noting that the package is not, “the solution any of us prefer.”
  • The House Rules Committee will meet today at 16:00 ET 21:00 BST to consider the package. Should the three GOP conservatives on the committee choose to block the measure, Democrats will club with Republicans to pass the package under suspension of rules - a procedural manoeuvre that bypasses the Rules Committee with a two-thirds majority vote. The Senate will then take up the package and force it through the chamber before the September 30 midnight deadline, ending a relatively low-stakes funding dispute.
