CNN —With only three days to go before government funding expires, Congress is barreling toward a shutdown with the House and Senate at an impasse over a path forward.
The White House is sounding alarms about massive disruptions to air travel as tens of thousands of air traffic controllers and Transportation Security Administration personnel work without pay.
The White House has warned that a shutdown could risk “significant delays for travelers” across the country.
The White House has also warned of impacts to national security, including the 1.3 million active-duty troops who would not get paid during a shutdown.
The House is expected to vote on a GOP stopgap bill on Friday, though nothing has been scheduled as of yet.
