Republicans are eyeing a stopgap government funding measure that would range from 14 to 60 days, according to Representative Garret Graves, an ally of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
House Republicans are moving forward on four appropriations bills next week, but with just seven days left until government funding runs out, lawmakers will need to pass a short-term measure to avoid a shutdown.
