House Republicans are facing the likelihood of needing another stopgap spending bill when they reconvene in September. The anticipated measure, known as a continuing resolution (CR), is expected to be in place until after the election, according to Republican Rep. Drew Ferguson of Georgia. This sentiment is echoed by Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, the top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee.
Recent weeks have seen the House GOP encountering challenges in passing spending bills, reminiscent of the struggles faced last summer. Appropriations Chairman Tom Cole has consistently predicted that a stopgap measure would be the most probable outcome in September.
