Another week in Washington comes with another chaotic scramble to prevent a government shutdown.
With a little more than two days to spare before funding lapses for the second time since December, confusion reigned Wednesday. Congress hurried to hash out text for spending legislation, as a few remaining snags reportedly delayed a final plan’s release.
News outlets say President Donald Trump is expected to sign what lawmakers pass — even as the president and his administration stress that he wants to see legislation before backing it. On Tuesday, the president said he was “not happy” with the agreement but did not expect another shutdown.
