"But with the government running out of money at the end of the day Friday, there is urgency to get a deal done to avert a partial shutdown. Driving the news: Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Trump moved toward a deal overnight on Wednesday that would include full-year spending bills for agencies besides DHS, which would be funded through a short-term stopgap measure."
Democrats voted in unison against a procedural motion to advance a funding package; the motion required 60 votes and failed 45-55. The government faces a funding deadline at the end of the day Friday, creating urgency to reach a deal and avert a partial shutdown. Schumer and Trump moved toward an agreement to pass full-year spending bills for agencies other than DHS while funding DHS through a short-term stopgap. The stopgap is intended to give lawmakers and the White House time to negotiate reforms at DHS, including limits on masks, body cameras, and tighter warrant use in immigration enforcement.
