McConnell Will Push Short Term Spending Bill

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he will introduce a short-term funding bill that, if passed, will keep the government running through February 8th, Axios reports.

Playbook: “House Democrats will clearly view anything that doesn’t include wall money a victory. A stopgap funding bill until February isn’t ideal, no question about that. But the ground shifts massively toward Democrats’ favor next year.”

There’s a smell of jet fuel on Capitol Hill right now.
