WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. House of Representatives may delay the expected Tuesday afternoon vote on a bill to fund the government through Dec. 11, because discussions are continuing about its provisions, a Democratic aide said.
The delay “relates to numerous agriculture provisions” in the bill, the aide said. With government funding lapsing on Sept. 30, House Democrats announced Monday they had filed the stopgap funding legislation, but they angered Republicans by leaving out new money that President Donald Trump wanted for farmers.
