| 摘要： | Washington, D.C.-Congressional Democratic leaders pivoted from corralling their own members into supporting two infrastructure packages worth trillions of dollars to playing a game of political chicken with Republicans over keeping the government from shutting down, raising the debt ceiling and avoiding default.They have until September 30 to pass a stopgap funding bill to keep the federal government open.By a vote of 220 to 211, the House passed a bill extending federal funding through December 3 along with $28.6 billion in emergency disaster relief and $6.3 billion to support evacuees from Afghanistan.Democrats also included language in H.R. 5305 to suspend the debt limit through December 2022.Senate Republicans announced they would not go along with the debt limit language.Senate rules that usually require a supermajority of 60 votes to pass significant legislation give them the power to kill the bill in that evenly divided chamber. |
