As Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives struggle to agree on funding bills, Senate Democrats on Thursday signaled they may try to act on their own to offset a partial federal government shutdown beginning on Oct. 1.
If the House of Representatives appeared unable to produce any sort of government-funding bill by Sept. 30, the Senate could take matters into its own hands.
Schumer plans to take an already-passed House bill reauthorizing Federal Aviation Administration programs and replace its language with a new temporary funding bill, which is known as a continuing resolution, or CR. The Senate in this scenario would likely aim to pass the retooled measure close - but not too close - to the midnight Sept. 30 deadline so that it can send a CR to the House with little time to spare. It is a move known as "jamming" the other chamber.House Speaker Kevin McCarthy could find the sweet spot for a one-month funding deal that his Republicans would embrace.
