House leaders introduced a new bill on Sunday to prevent a government shutdown at the end of the month. The legislation aims to fund the government until December 20 and includes $231 million for the U.S. Secret Service. The House is expected to vote on this three-month continuing resolution by Wednesday. This follows the failure to pass a six-month resolution last week. The bill does not include additional disaster relief but does replenish FEMA funds. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed support for the new proposal, emphasizing the need for bipartisan cooperation. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries stated that Democrats will review the spending legislation this week.
