☆ Lawmakers are set to vote to avert a government shutdown. Here’s what it means for markets
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-14 | by ( Hakyung Kim | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

Washington may be able to avoid a government shutdown by the upcoming Friday deadline, but that doesn't mean Congress — or the markets — are quite in the clear. House Speaker Mike Johnson said on CNBC's " Squawk Box " on Tuesday that he expects enough lawmakers on both sides to pass his two-step "laddered" continuing resolution. The continuing resolution plan would extend federal funding for some government agencies until mid-January, while other agencies would be funded through early February. The House is expected to vote on the continuing resolution around 4:30 p.m. That doesn't mean that you're not going to have the showdown — it just means that this is the prologue," Salisbury said.

It will be a rare summit before the U.S. presidential election cycle kicks off in earnest. "The immediate aftermath of the [Biden-Xi] meeting is likely to mark a cyclical high point for bilateral relations," he said. Taiwan is set to hold its presidential election in January, and a more pro-independence winner could stir more of Beijing's ire. Beijing considers Taiwan part of its territory, with no right to independently conduct diplomatic relations. The U.S. recognizes Beijing as the sole government of China but maintains unofficial relations with Taiwan, a democratically self-governed island.

The Rules Committee voted 9-7 - along party lines - to send the resolution for a vote in the full Senate. The resolution would temporarily sidestep Tuberville's holds by allowing many promotions to be considered by the Senate simultaneously. Under Senate rules, one lawmaker can hold up nominations even if the other 99 all want them to move quickly. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, a member of the Rules Committee, said productive discussions with Tuberville about reaching a deal to ease his holds were under way. Just last week, the senator objected to quick approval of the promotions of 364 officers.

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) speaks during a press conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., November 14, 2023. WASHINGTON — The House approved a bill Tuesday that would avert a government shutdown, sending the measure next to the Senate, where it is expected to pass. Once it is approved by the Senate, the bill goes to President Joe Biden, who has signaled he is open to signing it. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said if the bill passed the House, he and Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., would move it swiftly through the Senate. "Senate Leader [Mitch] McConnell and I will figure out the best way to get this done quickly," said Schumer.

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Mike Johnson said he expects to win bipartisan backing Tuesday for his "laddered" continuing resolution to fund the government, potentially giving the Senate enough time to pass the bill after the House and avoid a government shutdown set to begin late Friday night. Johnson said he did not yet know how much support he would receive from within his own party. Early Tuesday morning, the hardline conservative House Freedom Caucus, around 45 Republicans, issued a statement opposing the Johnson backed CR. Several House Democrats who were formerly opposed to the measure said Monday that they were open to supporting it. In the Senate, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell also both telegraphed support for the plan.

REUTERS/Nathan Howard/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsWASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson's plan to avert a government shutdown faces a key test on Tuesday, as he tries to overcome hardline opposition from his own Republican conference, even as some Democrats signal tentative support for the measure. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Congress' top Democrat, gave a tentative welcome to the proposal on Monday. But House Republican hardliners are threatening to use procedural roadblocks to stop the bill from advancing. With a slim 221-213 majority, the Republican speaker can afford to lose no more than three party votes on legislation that Democrats oppose. They claim the bill also leaves in place policies favored by prominent Democrats including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Representative Nancy Pelosi, the former House speaker.

☆ The House Passed a Plan to Avert a Shutdown
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-14 | by ( Matthew Cullen | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

More than 200 House Democrats voted today to back a plan designed by Mike Johnson, the right-wing speaker, to avert an impending government shutdown. The legislation, which was opposed by many Republicans, passed 336 to 95, clearing the two-thirds threshold required. If signed into law, it would keep the government funded into early 2024. The move proved effective as most Democrats — who were satisfied that the legislation did not include budget cuts — voted in favor. lacks the political will to keep the government funded, forcing its leaders to rely on Democratic votes to do so.

WASHINGTON, Nov 13 (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson's plan to avoid a partial government shutdown secured tentative support from top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer on Monday, even as some of Johnson's hardline Republican colleagues pushed back against it. Without changes, the Texas Republican said he would oppose efforts to bring the bill to the floor. The bill is intended to pressure the House and Senate to agree on spending bills for fiscal 2024 by the assigned dates. Johnson warned Democrats that House Republicans would impose a full-year CR for 2024 "with appropriate adjustments to meet our national security priorities" if Congress fails to reach agreement on full-year spending. Failure to hit that benchmark led to McCarthy's ouster, but some House Republicans suggested Johnson deserved more time.

☆ Top US Senate Democrat encouraged by House Republican funding bill

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) speaks to reporters at the Capitol in Washington, U.S., October 31, 2023. REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsWASHINGTON, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Top U.S. Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer on Monday expressed tentative support for House Republicans' short-term funding bill that would keep the federal government open past this weekend. Schumer halted progress on the Senate's proposed funding plan, a step that would allow the House to move first. This may encourage some House Democrats to back the plan if hardline Republicans deny Speaker Mike Johnson the votes for the bill he has proposed. Johnson has proposed a short-term funding bill, known as a continuing resolution or CR, that would keep spending at fiscal year 2023 levels until January and February for different parts of the government.

And for newly minted Speaker Mike Johnson, the fight ahead marks a major test – and one that foretold his predecessor’s loss of the gavel. Instead, to the frustration of a handful of House Republicans who have already expressed opposition to the measure, it extends current funding levels set under former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. It’s nearly the same set of circumstances that tested former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy just months ago – and precipitated his ouster, posing a major test for the new speaker. Adding to Johnson’s difficulties was a commitment from House Democrats to oppose anything but a clean continuing resolution. But lawmakers ultimately coalesced around a last-minute House continuing resolution that angered House conservatives and dealt McCarthy his final blow.

WASHINGTON — House Republicans on Saturday unveiled their stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown set to begin next weekend. GOP hardliners had been pushing Johnson to include budget cuts as part of his two-tiered CR plan, a source involved in discussions told NBC News. "My opposition to the clean CR just announced by the Speaker to the @HouseGOP cannot be overstated. The laddered plan has the backing of Congress' most conservative members, including Republicans who normally never vote for stopgap bills. "I want a clean CR," declared Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee.

A knowledgeable source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said plans for the release of the continuing resolution, or "CR," were still in flux. U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson has spent days in talks with members of his slim 221-212 Republican majority about several CR options. The Republican-controlled House and Democratic-led Senate must agree on a vehicle that President Joe Biden can sign into law before current funding expires on Nov. 17. Many lawmakers warn that a prolonged partisan fight over a stopgap measure could prevent Congress from averting a shutdown. As House Republicans debated their options this week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer took an initial procedural step toward moving his own stopgap measure.

It's a disruption that Johnson — just two weeks into his job running the House — has said he wants to avoid. “We're running up against the clock on Nov. 17, and we're obviously aware of that,” Johnson said this week, referring to the date that government funding expires. Democrats have made it clear they will not support any funding packages that include policy wins for conservatives. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, who the Democratic leader in the House, said they would not “pay a single, right-wing ransom demand” as part of a funding resolution. Democratic lawmakers are also eager to play up the House Republican divisions and to pin any blame for a shutdown squarely on the new speaker and his GOP colleagues.

Presently, this relationship faces more challenges than it has encountered in the past two decades. They must also rebuild the essential habits of cooperation to address the existential challenges that have arisen. However, this deep-rooted reliance underscores their vulnerability to disruptions and uncertainties in the ever-shifting landscape of U.S.-China relations. Such a shift toward stability isn't just beneficial for these corporations but stands to bolster the overall bilateral relationship between the two nations. The summit could be the final chance to stabilize the relationship, demonstrating to domestic audiences in both countries and global stakeholders that a workable, if not entirely ideal, management framework for China-U.S. relations is possible.

Lawmakers said they expect the Louisiana Republican to unveil a continuing resolution or "CR" to avert a partial government shutdown as late as Saturday. Johnson can afford to lose no more than four Republican votes from his slim 221-212 House majority on legislation opposed by Democrats. But he is under pressure from Republican hardliners to lumber any CR with spending cuts and policy riders Democrats uniformly reject. "If there's any kind of CR, there has to be spending reductions," Representative Chip Roy, a prominent conservative, told reporters.

THE TAKEDisputes within the fractious House of Representatives Republican majority have prevented that chamber from voting on a stopgap funding measure known as a continuing resolution, or CR.

[1/2] Newly elected Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) addresses the U.S. House of Representatives after he was elected to be the new Speaker at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, U.S., October 25, 2023. Despite signs of some bipartisan talks between the chambers, Johnson has been focused on finding a solution that his 221-212 House Republican majority can accept. The choice will test Johnson's effectiveness as the top Republican in Congress, just two weeks after he was chosen following nearly a month of Republican infighting. Johnson, 51, a relative novice in leadership politics with few political enemies, continues to enjoy goodwill within the fractious House Republican caucus. "The four corners are talking," said Schumer, using a term that refers to Johnson, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries and himself.

McConnell said he is aligned with Biden's “comprehensive approach” to funding Ukraine, Israel and other regions, but Republicans are “very serious” about including the border changes. “What we saw from Senate Republicans is not a serious piece of legislation," press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. House Republicans are veering dramatically from the agreement Biden and McCarthy struck earlier this year to set spending levels. House Republicans are cutting money for most departments except the Pentagon, while the Senate also boosts defense and has shifted some resources. The House Republicans spent most of last month struggling to elect a new speaker before settling on Johnson.

WASHINGTON, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on the U.S. to provide more funding to help his forces counter Russia, and invited former U.S. President Donald Trump to fly in to see the scale of the conflict for himself. Zelenskiy said American soldiers could eventually be pulled into a greater European conflict with Russia if Washington did not step up support. It passed a bill last week to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel, but did not include any increase in aid for Ukraine. In the interview airing on Sunday, Zelenskiy invited former U.S. President Donald Trump, a Republican, to visit Ukraine and see the fallout of the conflict initiated by Russia's President Vladimir Putin in February 2022. "If he can come here, I will need ... 24 minutes to explain to President Trump that he can't manage this war," Zelenskiy said.

The White House in July had advanced $6.88 billion in funding from the Federal Transit Administration for the project. Schumer, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and New York Governor Kathy Hochul were among the officials who celebrated the start of construction in New York on the Hudson Tunnel Project. Buttigieg said Friday the Hudson Tunnel project will reduce traveler delays, support 72,000 jobs and generate $19 billion in economic activity. The project was debated in Washington for over a decade since the New York City-area rail tunnel was damaged when Superstorm Sandy flooded parts of the city.
