House Republicans on Sunday unveiled a three-month stopgap spending bill — with plans to vote on the measure on Wednesday as the clock ticks down to a Sept. 30 deadline avert a government shutdown.
..............................

The new bill would keep the government funded until Dec. 20, punting longer term spending decisions until after the Nov. 5 election.
In addition to keeping the government funded at current levels, it would replenish funds for FEMA and add monies for the Secret Service — under the condition it cooperates with a congressional task force investigating the assassination attempts against Trump.

The big picture: The bill will need bipartisan support because a handful of Republicans are expected to vote against it.

.................
Between the lines: Trump has argued publicly for a shutdown if voter ID language is not included in a short-term funding bill.

2. Why December 20th as the next deadline? One last GOP shot at punishing the opposition and America?

4. Ehy not through January or Febuary.

Jan 6 will be chaotic under a budget shutdown. I think better to call their bluff now, better to shut now then in Jan 1.
