House passes stopgap, Sept. 30 shutdown deadline looms

Sep 23, 2025

With a vote of 217-212, the House passed a stopgap bill on Friday to keep the federal government funded for an additional seven weeks. 

  • The bill still needs to pass the Senate to avoid a shutdown at the end of this month. 

Yes, but: The bill stalled in the Senate with Democrats blocking it from moving forward. 

  • An alternative funding bill offered by Democrats was also blocked by Senate Republicans.

What's next: The Senate is scheduled to be in recess until September 29. There will be a government shutdown unless Congress can reach an agreement by September 30.
