The House is aiming to vote next week on a stopgap spending bill to keep the government open when the fiscal year ends on Oct. 1, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said.
The bill has not yet been formally scheduled because a draft hasn’t been finished. Republicans and Democrats have yet to agree on how long the stopgap will last until and on several minor tweaks to current spending levels.
