A short-term continuing resolution (CR) aimed at averting a government shutdown while allowing Congress an additional month to come to an agreement on spending has been cleared for consideration by the House of Representatives.
The House Rules Committee voted 9-3 along party lines to pass the rule for consideration of H.R. 5525, Continuing Appropriations and Border Security Enhancement Act, 2024, which had been proposed by a coalition of Republicans from the House Freedom and Main Street Caucuses.
