Excerpt:
“Our legislation will be a very narrow, bare-bones CR including only the extensions that are absolutely necessary.”
The House GOP leadership is rolling out their plan B for a short-term stopgap spending package, which includes additional funding of $231 million to the Secret Service (USSS)— but there is a catch. The funding is dependent on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) handing over documentation related to the July 13 assassination attempt on Donald Trump. This comes as the USSS, an agency under the DHS, has been heavily scrutinized after two assassination attempts on the GOP nominee.
The 49-page continuing resolution (CR) spending package was unveiled on Sunday and would keep the government funded through December 20, setting up for a funding debate right before the Christmas holiday. The three-month time span is much shorter than the first time around, which would have funded the government through March 2025, but it does not include the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.
