Senate leaders reach deal on short-term spending bill in push to avert shutdown - eviltoast

With just days to go before the government runs out of money, the Senate has unveiled a bipartisan stopgap bill in a bid to avert a shutdown – but there’s no guarantee that it will be able to pass in the House.

The Senate stopgap bill, which would keep the government funded until November 17, includes $6.2 billion in Ukraine aid and $6 billion for natural disasters.

The release of the Senate bill, which was negotiated on a bipartisan basis, sets up a stark contrast – and a showdown – with the House, where the Republican majority faces deep divisions and the demands of hardline conservatives have been highly influential in driving the agenda as a shutdown looms.

    I can’t remember the exact number but only 5 to 7 need to flip right?

    Are there 5 -7 non crazy GOP house members who aren’t up for re-election as they are stepping aside/down anyway?
