With Shutdown Just Hours Away, Senate Leaders Are Reportedly Close To A Deal
The federal government is less than two days away from a shutdown. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are reportedly close to a budget deal, but not everyone is excited about it. The deal would extend budget limits for defense and domestic spending, but does not include a solution to DACA, which many Democrats have said will need to be a part of any long-term budget deal.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is one of the Democrats who have said a budget deal must be tied to a solution on immigration. Despite her stance, Jack Holmes, Associate Editor at Esquire, says he doesn't believe the government will shut down at all.
President Joe Biden departed Vietnam after meetings with President Vo Van Thuong along with other high-ranking officials, following his participation at the G20 summit in India.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis accused Rep. Jim Jordan of obstructing and intruding into her investigation of former President Donald Trump.
