House Democrats introduced legislation on Sept. 21 that would keep the federal government funded until Dec. 11, although it isn’t clear if the White House or congressional Republicans will take it up, raising the prospect of a federal shutdown by the end of this month.
While the continuing resolution (CR) (pdf) would extend current levels of spending past the Sept. 30 deadline, it doesn’t include $30 billion in aid that the White House has sought for farmers affected by the coronavirus pandemic, officials said.
