PBS News Hour

Stopgap measures to avoid government shutdown fail in Senate

Season 2025 Episode 262 | 3m 21s

House Republicans voted on their plan to avoid a government shutdown with a temporary, seven-week funding bill. But within hours, that was blocked by Democrats in the Senate. Their own plan for extending funding also fell short. So what does it mean? Congressional correspondent Lisa Desjardins reports on the latest as we approach the September 30 deadline.
