Schumer optimistic about avoiding government shutdown as funding talks progress

nbcnews.com September 22, 2024, 08:00 PM UTC

Summary: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed optimism on Sunday about avoiding a government shutdown at the end of the month. He noted that discussions with House Speaker Mike Johnson are progressing toward a potential agreement.

Johnson is expected to present a short-term funding bill this week. This follows a setback last week when House Republicans rejected their own plan to prevent a shutdown.

Tensions remain high as Congress has just over a week to pass a funding bill before the October 1 deadline. Schumer emphasized the need for cooperation from both parties to reach a resolution.
