Congress Considers Stopgap Funding Bill

Congressional leaders are considering a stopgap funding bill that would extend spending authority until March 1 for part of the government and March 8 for the rest, Punchbowl News reports.

The approach would leave intact Speaker Mike Johnson’s “laddered” government funding.

The leadership is also considering bumping the deadlines back to March 8 and March 15.

President Biden is scheduled to give his State of the Union March 7.
