As members of Congress prepare to return to Capitol Hill, the focus will be on avoiding a government shutdown as federal agencies risk running out of money on September 30th. With just 13 days in session before the deadline, lawmakers are gearing up for a critical week ahead.
Upon their return, one of the primary tasks at hand will be to pass a continuing resolution to keep the government funded and operational. Both Democrats and Republicans are eager to avert a shutdown, especially given the proximity to the upcoming election.
