September 2026 um 21:22 UTCAnsehenTranskript0:00The Senate's government funding [music]0:01bill has cleared a procedural step and0:03senators now want to get the final bill0:05over the finish line. CBS News0:07correspondent [music] Nicole Killian0:08reported on August 6th. Senate Majority0:11Leader John Thune has made completing0:12the funding bill a priority simply0:14[music] because he wants to avoid0:15another funding fight this fall, Killian0:17reported. As Killian put it, it did0:19clear a procedural step, but they do0:21want to get that final bill over the0:22finish line. [music] The advance is0:24procedural, not final passage, which is0:26still required. The context Killian0:28cited is that everybody remembers that0:30record [music] government shutdown from0:32earlier or last year, and Thune's0:34priority is to avoid repeating that0:36impasse when the fall deadline returns.0:38With the funding bill passed its0:39procedural [music] step, the question is0:41whether the Senate finishes it before0:43the fall deadline returns. [music]0:45Clearing the hurdle removes leverage for0:46a later standoff, while failure to send0:48the final bill through leaves the risk0:50of another closure that would disrupt0:52federal services and paychecks.Artikel lesenChronologie der GeschichteHeyDexDas Kurzvideo ↗
