Congress defers $1.8 trillion spending fight until after Election Day
Original: Congress pushed a $1.8 trillion spending fight past Election Day. That’s the point
US lawmakers have delayed action on a $1.8 trillion government spending bill until after Election Day, leaving the funding battle unresolved. The strategy appears deliberate: with no agreement in sight, both parties prefer to avoid a politically damaging fight before voters go to the polls, pushing the risk of a shutdown showdown into the post-election period.
Why now: Members of Congress are avoiding a pre-election spending clash that could hurt their parties at the polls.
