Congressional negotiators on Tuesday continued to hammer out the details of a $1.5 trillion omnibus spending package that would fund federal agencies until the end of September, as yet another deadline loomed to keep the government open.
A deal to keep the government funded expires Friday at midnight. Lawmakers said they plan to release the final text of a bill to approve full funding for fiscal 2022 Tuesday, so that the House can vote on it before Democrats in that chamber go on a three-day retreat in Philadelphia, after which the Senate would send the bill to President Biden’s desk on Friday.
