Congress reaches agreement on short-term spending deal through 20 December
Congressional leaders reached a short-term funding agreement, a continuing resolution through 20 December while allocating an additional $231 million to the Secret Service amid presidential campaign safety collapses. Speaker Mike Johnson dropped his push for proof-of-citizenship voting requirements to secure the deal, which averts a government shutdown during campaign season. The extension maintains current funding levels but sets the stage for renewed spending battles in the lame-duck session between the election and the new Congress.
