Deep dives

The Senate's Post-Recess Agenda and Potential Government Shutdown

Senators are returning from August recess and their first priority is to avoid a government shutdown. Congress has until October 1 to pass the next year's budget, and if they fail to do so, the government will shut down at the end of September. With tight deadlines and disagreements, Congress is expected to pass a continuing resolution to keep the government funded while they continue debating. Failure to pass the budget bills by 2024 will result in budget cuts of 1% across federal agencies.
