House Republicans Defy Trump’s Call for Brinkmanship on Shutdown
Party leaders discuss three-month deal that is expected to be amenable to Democrats
WASHINGTON—House Republicans signaled Thursday they have no appetite for a government-shutdown battle right ahead of the November election, ignoring exhortations from former President Donald Trump to hold the line on an election-security bill opposed by Democrats.
GOP leaders are discussing a bill that would keep federal agencies funded until mid-December, an idea in line with what Democrats have said they would support. The new proposal under discussions being led by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.) could get a vote early next week and then head to the Democratic-run Senate. It leaves out any election-related provisions, which Democrats had called a poison pill.
Congress needs to act by the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year to prevent a partial government shutdown.
The revised approach would mark the latest in a series of humbling episodes for Republican leaders, who have repeatedly relied on Democrats this term to help pass spending legislation in the House due to deep divisions in the GOP ranks and their narrow majority.

What reason do you think the Fed used to do 50 basis point reduction??
