Government shutdown looms as Senate and House advance separate plans

Despite the fact that the Senate just advanced a measure to fund the government through November, a government shutdown is set to begin Sunday.

“Speaker McCarthy is saying he cares more about the whims of the hard right, the hard hard right, than avoiding a shutdown,” says Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

Schumer says the U.S. should not be on the brink of a government shutdown, because Democrats and Republicans reached an agreement on spending back in June. “We all shook hands on this deal,” added Schumer. “But now the speaker and only the speaker is going back on his word.”
