Five weeks out from the next shutdown deadline, House leaders are already preparing lawmakers for another short-term spending extension that keeps the government running until late November or early December
.
With the doors of the House and Senate locked for legislative business until Sept. 9, lawmakers are left with just 13 workdays before federal funding expires at the end of next month. In the Senate, spending leaders have yet to even introduce a single one of their 12 annual funding bills, let alone mark up or pass them on the floor.
There is work to do in the House, too. Even though Democrats in that chamber marked up all of their fiscal 2020 spending measures this summer and passed 10 on the floor, they must now readjust funding levels heading into negotiations with the Senate, since the budget deal provided about $15 billion less than they had initially assumed for non-defense programs and about $5 billion more for the Pentagon.
