Senate Passes Funding Bill to Keep Government Open

The Senate is set to pass a bill to fund the government until December 3rd, avoiding a shutdown. The bill will then move to the House, where Speaker Pelosi is optimistic about passing a bipartisan infrastructure agreement. However, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Pramila Jayapal express doubts about having enough votes. Negotiations continue, with Senator Joe Manchin proposing a $1.5 trillion top line for spending bills. Kyrsten Sinema, another key figure, is focused on climate change and prefers a lower spending figure. The outcome of these negotiations will impact President Biden's economic agenda.
