US EditionJeffries warns GOP: Partisan spending bills risk an Oct. 1 shutdown
UNITED STATES, JUL 22 – Republicans aim to cut $9 billion in spending but face internal divisions and need Democratic support to prevent a shutdown, with a 50-50 chance of partial closure, The Hill reported.
- On July 25, the House will break for summer recess with fewer than 20 legislative days left, risking a partial government shutdown at the end of September.
- Only a few appropriations bills—including those for Defense and Veterans Affairs—have cleared the full House, and none have been finalized by the Senate.
- Some GOP members caution that a shutdown could result from Democrats’ anger over the $9 billion rescissions package, which followed Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
- The impasse among House conservatives raises the prospects of a shutdown when funding runs out on September 30.
- With lawmakers heading back home next week, staffers will spend much of August seeking compromise, and the GOP will need Democratic votes to reach 60 in the Senate to avoid a filibuster.
