Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has taken steps that will give the Senate the option to set up a vote next week on a government funding extension as the threat of a shutdown looms at the end of the month.

House Speaker Mike Johnson must develop a new plan to prevent a potential government shutdown after the spending bill and SAVE Act were voted down in the House.

The House on Wednesday voted down Speaker Mike Johnson's government funding plan with 14 Republicans voting against it and two others voting present. The measure failed by a 202-222-2 margin. Three Democrats voted for the bill.

La., tells 'Hannity' why a continuing resolution to fund the government failed.

The U.S. House, including 14 Republicans, voted down a six-month GOP government funding plan Wednesday, as Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., tries to avert a shutdown at the end of the month.

The House failed on Wednesday to pass a six-month GOP government funding plan that included a controversial measure targeting noncitizen voting, an effort pushed by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Lawmakers are not close to completing work on the dozen annual appropriations bills that will fund federal agencies during the next fiscal year, so they’ll need to approve a stopgap measure to prevent a partial shutdown when that budget year begins Oct.
