Washington, D.C.-Congressional appropriators appear headed toward a potential impasse on getting spending bills through both chambers and signed into law by President Joe Biden.In its first session on fiscal year 2024 spending, the Democratic-controlled Senate Appropriations Committee stuck to the bipartisan debt-limit deal in approving allocations for its 12 individual bills."I am going to ensure we adhere to the deal that President Biden and Speaker McCarthy negotiated and Congress passed just a few weeks ago," Senate Chairman Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said.Allocations were approved 15 to 13 with Republicans objecting to levels of spending for defense and homeland security. |
