Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) said the House will not pass another temporary spending bill to avert a partial government shutdown when the latest deadline expires on March 1, Bloomberg reports.
“Ruling out another short-term spending bill raises the chances of a shutdown given how little time Congress has to complete talks on the long-delayed fiscal 2024 spending measure. Current funding for U.S. agencies runs out in two tranches, on March 1 and March 8.”
