Politics of stopgap spending
Manage episode 438984059 series 1342323
Congress has three weeks to pass an election-season funding extension to head off a partial shutdown. House Republicans hope to win political talking points by including a measure designed to ensure that non-citizens can't vote by requiring proof of citizenship to register. They also want to punt final spending bills into March in hopes of increasing their leverage after the November elections. CQ Roll Call's Aidan Quigley and David Lerman assess the obstacles and political pressures at play in the fight over a continuing resolution.
