US Republicans expect no votes on stopgap this week as shutdown looms

Deja Bù: Mark reconnects with Jessica Harnois, founder Bù Wines | SaltWireWASHINGTON - Republicans who control the U.S. House of Representatives said they do not expect to move forward this week on a stopgap funding measure to keep federal agencies open, even with a possible government shutdown just 10 days away.

But with this week already shortened by a Veterans Day observance on Friday, three Republican lawmakers who spoke on condition of anonymity said the House was unlikely to approve a CR this week. One lawmaker said a Republican policy of waiting three days before voting on legislation left little time to act this week.

Republicans will also consider a more conventional CR that would run to a Jan. 19, leaving December for lawmakers to work on appropriations bills and supplemental funding requests including Israel, Ukraine and other priorities.
