US EditionJohnson looks to pass stopgap as government shutdown deadline looms
- The House is set to vote on a stopgap funding measure proposed by Speaker Mike Johnson to avoid a government shutdown by September 30, which includes increased defense spending and decreased non-defense spending below 2024 levels.
- The House Rules Committee advanced the funding bill, but it requires Democratic support in the Senate, where 60 votes are essential for passage.
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries stated that the bill 'dramatically cuts healthcare, nutritional assistance for children and families, and veterans' benefits,' leading to opposition from House Democratic leadership.
- Mary Grant, Food & Water Watch Water Program Director, called the measure a 'disastrous spending bill' that 'slashes critical clean water and agriculture conservation programs,' particularly affecting rural Americans.
