No shutdown. Yet! September 30th was the government Fiscal year-end. At the last minute they passed a spending resolution to fund the government for another 45 days. So a shutdown is looming if they can’t pass a funding bill. They person to co-ordinate that though is The Speaker of which there is no permanent Speaker. And the House is going on vacation for a week. So, instead of getting shit done they now need to find a new Speaker. But who the hell is going to take the job and risk becoming McCarthy 2.0.Ousted? What will happen now in Congress? Will there still be a shutdown?
If they can’t pass a fu ding bill in 42 days from now and a shutdown happens near Thanksgiving, the Republicans will take a beating in the House in the next election and the Dems will regain control of the House.
