US Government Nears Shutdown as Senate Rejects Funding Bill
A government shutdown is in the air after the U.S. Senate rejected an emergency congressional budget bill on Sept. 19, which would last through late November. As of now, both parties are struggling to come to an agreement before the Sept. 30 deadline.The bill, known as a continuing resolution (CR), is a temporary spending measure that sets a rough spending plan until Nov. 21, when Congress is expected to vote on a more thorough plan for the year.
