<p>Congressional leaders announced on Tuesday that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-house-of-representatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate</a> negotiators have reached a tentative agreement to fund the government for the remainder of fiscal 2024, which is nearly half over.</p>
<p>If it holds, the deal would cover the remaining spending bills that were not included in a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/06/us/politics/house-spending-bill-shutdown.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$460 billion</a> <a href="https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/news/majority/murray-top-appropriators-release-minibus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;minibus&#8221;</a> that passed earlier this month. Lawmakers have until the end of this week to avert a partial shutdown for the unfunded agencies, which include the Departments of Defense, State, Health and Human Services, and others.</p>
<p>&#8220;Senate and House leaders and the White House have reached an agreement to finish the final set of full year appropriations bills,&#8221; Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) <a href="https://twitter.com/SenSchumer/status/1770074134522839295" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X. &#8220;The Senate and House Appropriations Committees are in the process of finalizing text and reports for Congress to closely review and consider ASAP.&#8221;</p>

<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) indicated that appropriations for the Homeland Security Department (DHS) was the final sticking point that negotiators had to work out before a resolution was reached.</p>
<p>&#8220;An agreement has been reached for DHS appropriations, which will allow completion of the FY24 appropriations process,&#8221; Johnson <a href="https://twitter.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1770073371079802902" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X. &#8220;House and Senate committees have begun drafting bill text to be prepared for release and consideration by the full House and Senate as soon as possible.&#8221;</p>

<p>Not everyone is on board with the spending deal, even though lawmakers have yet to unveil the final text of the legislation. A few dozen Republican members, led by the conservative House Freedom Caucus, released a <a href="https://twitter.com/freedomcaucus/status/1769825731389845659" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> on Thursday urging the House GOP to use the &#8220;power of the purse&#8221; to rein in the Biden administration&#8217;s &#8220;&#8216;open borders&#8217; policies.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">HFC Chairman <a href="https://twitter.com/RepBobGood?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RepBobGood</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/RepChipRoy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RepChipRoy</a> led 41 fellow Republicans in urging the <a href="https://twitter.com/HouseGOP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@HouseGOP</a> to use the power of the purse in this week’s government funding bill to dismantle Biden’s disastrous “open borders” policies, otherwise Republicans will be actively funding this crisis. <a href="https://t.co/BBR7GW0Pw0">pic.twitter.com/BBR7GW0Pw0</a></p>

<p>The letter&#8217;s 43 signatures indicate that a second &#8220;minibus,&#8221; if it were to pass the House this week, might do so with more Democrat votes than Republican votes in the narrowly divided lower chamber.</p>

<p>If there is a hangup on one or more parts of the spending package, Congress may opt to pass yet another stop-gap measure.</p>
<p>President Joe Biden released a <a href="https://twitter.com/JenniferShutt/status/1770081885701480936" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> on Tuesday saying that he had reached an agreement &#8220;on a path forward&#8221; with congressional leaders and would sign the resulting package &#8220;immediately&#8221; once it reached his desk.</p>
<p>The White House is already looking ahead to what comes next, with Biden <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/11/politics/2025-biden-budget-proposal-explainer/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proposing</a> earlier this month a roughly $7.3 trillion budget for fiscal 2025. The new fiscal year begins on October 1.</p>
