KISSIMMEE, Florida—The $14.3 billion emergency assistance bill adopted by the Republican-led House in a near-partisan Nov. 3 vote is dead on arrival in the Senate, while the Democrat-majority Senate’s proposed $106 billion supplemental funding package, which includes the Israeli aid measure, is a non-starter in the House.

Who blinks first will be a sub-current theme beginning Nov. 6 when both chambers resume budget deliberations less than two weeks before a 45-day stopgap measure funding the federal government expires Nov. 17.
