House Republicans have introduced a three-month stopgap funding bill aimed at preventing a partial government shutdown as the September 30 deadline approaches.
The bill, which extends government funding until mid-December, excludes controversial immigration measures previously demanded by Donald Trump. The proposal is expected to receive bipartisan support and includes provisions for boosting funding for the U.S. Secret Service.
Lawmakers are racing against the clock to pass the bill and avoid a shutdown that could disrupt federal operations.
