Early this evening the House took up HJ
Res 107, the Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2021. The
measure passed by a mainly
bipartisan vote of 320 to 60; no Democrats votes against the CR. The bill
provides an extension of the current FY 2021 spending through midnight December
20th, 2020. The House then adjourned until noon on Sunday. The
Senate adjourned shortly afterward without taking up HJ Res 107.
It looks like the Senate will take up the CR tomorrow.
Technically, this means that as of midnight tonight the government will shut down.
Since this is a weekend, a shutdown until sometime tomorrow is probably a
non-issue. Senate passed bill by voice vote sending it to the President who signed it this evenging. [12-18-20, 2328 EST] This very short CR means that the House leadership expects to have a
deal in place for a FY 2021 spending bill with some sort of COVID-19 support
package. A vote will probably happen in the House on Sunday.
