Congressional leaders finalized a deal Tuesday to extend government funding, approve more than $100 billion in disaster aid and advance a slew of bipartisan priorities that had been awaiting action for months.
The stopgap funding measure, if approved this week as expected, will kick Friday night’s funding deadline to March 14, buying congressional appropriators nearly three months to finalize fiscal 2025 funding bills under the incoming Republican governing “trifecta.”
“This bipartisan package is a responsible and necessary measure to ensure that key government functions, and the programs and services that assist and lift up American workers and families, continue uninterrupted,” House Appropriations ranking member Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) said in a statement.
