Senate leaders approve funding deal
Senators have introduced a short-term funding bill to extend federal government operations through December 11, avoiding a government shutdown during the upcoming recess. The measure, which generally maintains current funding levels, is scheduled for a vote before Congress's August recess, with negotiations ongoing over specific exceptions, such as funding for defense and other priorities. This proactive approach aims to prevent a repeat of recent shutdowns and allows time for lawmakers to negotiate full-year appropriations before the September 30 deadline.
