U.S. Congressional leaders have reached a bipartisan agreement on a $1.59 trillion spending deal for fiscal year 2024, a move that significantly reduces the risk of a partial government shutdown. The deal, which was announced by both Democrat and Republican leaders, sets a top-line spending level for the federal government and is seen as a critical step in averting a shutdown that was looming with a deadline of January 20. The White House has indicated that this funding agreement moves the country closer to avoiding the shutdown. As part of the efforts to prevent a shutdown, Senate Majority Leader Schumer has begun the process for the passage of a stopgap funding bill before the January 19 deadline. Additionally, Congressional leaders have agreed on a two-tranche short-term funding bill to keep the government funded into March, effectively extending two upcoming deadlines and providing more time for lawmakers to pass the bills that would appropriate the money. Senate Republican Leader McConnell has acknowledged the need for a continuing resolution to avoid a shutdown in a matter of days, and Speaker Johnson has been involved in discussions indicating the necessity of a stopgap funding bill.
