House GOP leaders are considering a funding strategy to prevent a government shutdown by allowing lawmakers to vote separately on funding the government and raising the debt limit. The proposed plan involves four separate votes, including a three-month spending stopgap, a $100 billion disaster package, a $10 billion farm aid package, and a debt limit increase.
According to two GOP sources familiar with the plans, House Speaker Mike Johnson and his leadership team are yet to make a final decision but are aiming to move swiftly. Lawmakers are eager to wrap up legislative business before the holiday break.
