McCarthy's Bill to Avoid Government Shutdown Defeated in House
The Republican-led House was slated to vote Friday on a measure to extend government funding until Oct. 31, but at a $1.471 trillion annual rate, down from $1.6 trillion in fiscal 2023. The bill also packages in strict new border-security measures and the creation of a fiscal commission charged with coming up with ways to balance the budget and improve the country’s fiscal outlook.
