Congressional negotiators reached a deal on Thursday to fund the government as the deadline to avoid a shutdown gets closer, according to reports.
Rep. Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) “announced after their 3 p.m. meeting that there is a tentative agreement in principle on all 12 bills. A vote is possible in the House as soon as Tuesday,” a Congressional aide told The Epoch Times.
“We had a very good meeting, and there’s a meeting of the minds, and we’re going to look through some of the details, but I feel confident that we’re going to have a product very shortly,” Lowey, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, told reporters on Thursday.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, and the leaders of the House and Senate appropriations committees met on Thursday.
The deal covers 12 regular spending bills totaling $1.3 trillion, and it was agreed to in a bipartisan spending package enacted by the president over the summer
