Congressional leaders to announce deal on spending levels Sunday as lawmakers face shutdown threat
House and Senate leaders, including House Speaker Johnson and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, have reportedly reached an agreement on overall federal funding levels, a move aimed at averting a potential government shutdown. However, significant challenges remain ahead of two key funding deadlines on January 19 and February 2. One critical issue is how to satisfy conservative lawmakers’ demands to use the funding bill to enforce stricter immigration and border security measures. Despite the agreement on funding levels, the passage of funding bills or a stop-gap resolution to prevent a shutdown is still uncertain.
