MNI BRIEF: Congress To Vote On One-Week Fiscal Stopgap

WASHINGTON (MNI)

The U.S. House of Representatives will vote Wednesday on a one-week stopgap spending bill that would push off a partial government shutdown until Dec. 18, according to House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.

"I am disappointed that we have not yet reached agreement on government funding," and the interim funding will allow talks to continue, Hoyer tweeted Monday.

Extending the funding deadline also gives Congress extra time to come to an agreement on a potential Covid relief package.
