Schumer: House GOP plan to pass DHS stopgap is ‘dead’ in the Senate
Quick Insights
The Bottom Line
Senate Democratic Leader Schumer rejected a House Republican proposal to fund the Department of Homeland Security for two months.
AI Summary
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer rejected a House Republican proposal Friday to fund the Department of Homeland Security for two months, saying the stopgap would be "dead on arrival" in the upper chamber. The House GOP plan would extend DHS funding for 60 days, giving the White House and lawmakers additional time to negotiate a longer-term budget agreement. Schumer's opposition signals a potential standoff over government funding, since the Senate would need to pass any stopgap measure to prevent a lapse in DHS operations. The two-month extension reflects ongoing tensions between Republicans and Democrats over spending levels and policy priorities as the fiscal year progresses.
