House Democratic leadership is opposing Republicans‘ plans to avoid a government shutdown next week, with leaders calling the proposal “not acceptable.”
Government funding expires on March 14. GOP leaders are preparing to put a continuing resolution, or CR, up for a vote on Tuesday that will freeze current spending levels until the end of the fiscal 2025 on Sept. 30.
With bipartisan congressional appropriators so far unable to come to an agreement on a topline number for a bigger funding package, the CR is viewed as a temporary fix to keep government operations running past the deadline.
