Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are scrambling to pass a spending bill by Friday to prevent a government shutdown.

The Democrat-led Congress had passed a short-term funding bill in September that extended government funding through Dec. 3. Biden quickly signed the bill into law before federal funding expired on Sept. 30.

Later, senators battled over the debt limit increase that the Treasury Department said needed to pass before Oct. 18. Senate Republican leaders ultimately agreed not to use the legislative filibuster to block a temporary $480 billion debt limit increase.
