Congress debates funding measure to prevent government shutdown

Congress is facing a deadline to prevent a government shutdown, with Senate Democrats opposing a funding measure passed by House Republicans. The deadline is Friday night, and Democrats are calling for more negotiations. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer noted that Republicans may not have enough votes to pass the resolution without Democratic support. Some Democrats, like Sen. John Hickenlooper, are publicly opposing the bill, while others, like Sen. John Fetterman, are open to collaboration. As discussions continue, concerns grow about the potential impact of a shutdown. Legal experts suggest it could give the Trump administration more control over government operations, raising alarms among Democrats.
