Republicans and Democrats remain at loggerheads over the government’s finances just days before it runs out of money

WASHINGTON—Senate Republicans are poised to block a Democratic bill that would both fund the government and raise, as the parties remain at loggerheads over the government’s finances just days before it runs out of money.

Senate Democrats are seeking to pass a House-approved stopgap measure that funds the government through Dec. 3, 2021 and suspends the debt limit through Dec. 16, 2022. They are moving to send the legislation to President Biden’s desk before the government’s current funding expires at 12:01 a.m. Oct. 1.

Government shutdown deadline looms as Senate prepares to vote on funding billThe Senate is scheduled to vote Monday on the House-passed government funding bill, but its fate remains uncertain with Republicans threatening to block the measure. The Rep can't block anything. The Dims have the majority. If they want to raise it, they can by moving it to the appropriations bill were they only need 50 votes. They just want Reps on board so when it all goes south, they can claim it was bipartisan.
