“Congressional leaders from both parties have finalized a plan to avert a government shutdown at the end of the month over President Trump’s demands to fund a border wall, and postpone that fight until after the November midterm elections,” the Washington Post reports.
“The bipartisan pact… reflects the desire of Republican leaders to avoid a nasty shutdown fight weeks before the midterm elections — even if it means sacrificing, at least for now, one of Trump’s most prominent policy goals.”
“House GOP leadership aides say they believe the White House is on board with their approach, but no one can be sure what Trump ultimately will do.”
