Congress has reached a deal to avoid a government shutdown, according to negotiators.
The breakthrough was announced in statements from three appropriations negotiators, Sen. Patrick Leahy , Sen. Richard Shelby , and Rep. Rosa DeLauro , though no specifics were given. Negotiators had been clamoring to reach a deal before a partial government shutdown would commence on Friday.
"The pain of inflation is real, and it is being felt across the federal government and by American families right now," he added."We cannot delay our work any further, and a two-month continuing resolution does not provide any relief. I look forward to continuing to work with my friend, Vice Chairman Shelby, and Chair DeLauro over the next week to finish the job the American people sent us here to do.
Negotiators were previously stuck on a top-line number for the omnibus bill and were at odds over roughly $26 billion in nondefense spending. Republicans argued that Democrats funded their domestic priorities through spending bills passed already this Congress, while Democrats argued that Republicans were abandoning the concept of “parity” in spending, in which increases in defense spending are accompanied by increases in domestic spending.
If the deal were to fail, Democrats would have a much harder time negotiating after Jan. 3, when Republicans take control of the House.
