Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been focused on passing long-term spending bills, hoping it will shake loose some support for a short-term plan to avert a government shutdown.
None of the bills has an immediate impact on a looming government shutdown that will begin Sunday at 12:01 a.m. if the two chambers do not agree to a short-term spending deal.
Meanwhile, the House failed to pass a piece of legislation that would have funded the Department of Agriculture for a full year. Democrats were joined by more than 25 Republicans in voting against it — some of whom have raised concerns over abortion-related policies in the bill. While the Senate is advancing a short-term funding measure to buy Congress more time to work on full-term appropriations bills, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is not likely to bring that proposal to the floor unless senators agree to add border security provisions to it.
McCarthy, meanwhile, said he planned on bringing the House’s own continuing resolution to the floor on Friday. It is expected to contain less funding than the Senate version and more conservative demands.by the pragmatic Main Street Caucus and the hard-right Freedom Caucus. But exactly how long the continuing resolution, or CR, would last remained up in the air.
