The House of Representatives is rushing to pass a stopgap spending bill to avoid a government shutdown in October. The bill would renew all funding at current levels through December 4.
SAVE America Act and Iran Funding
The House plans to advance a budget framework that could include the SAVE America Act, which would provide funding for the war in Iran and other priorities. However, Senate Republicans are not on the same page, and the bill may face opposition from Democrats.
The House is also considering a separate bill to ban its members from trading stocks, which is supported by some lawmakers but opposed by others. The bill is seen as a way to increase transparency and prevent conflicts of interest.
The House’s actions today will give a clue about what Congress may face this fall, including the possibility of a government shutdown and the ongoing debate over the SAVE America Act.
