The House has returned from a five-week recess with government funding on its agenda after the Senate passed a stopgap measure. Rep. Glenn Ivey says there is a “very good chance” it will pass, but he has not decided how to vote.
The House returned to Washington after a five-week recess, with keeping the government open at the top of its agenda. The Senate has passed a stopgap measure that would fund the government through December and avoid a shutdown during the midterm elections.
Rep. Glenn Ivey, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, told Morning Edition he expects the measure has a “very good chance” of passing but has not decided whether he will support it. He said he is weighing the effects of a shutdown on federal workers in his district, as well as the approaching midterms. Ivey also criticized the Trump administration’s handling of the appropriations process.
