WASHINGTON - Lawmakers in Congress are battling time as they seek to pass legislation that will fund the government and avert a possible shutdown scheduled to take effect at 12:01 a.m on Saturday.

House Republicans unveiled a spending bill on Saturday that would temporarily keep the government funded until Sept. 30. The bill is known as a continuing resolution.

The House is scheduled to vote on the bill today. But it is unclear if it will pass. Top Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., have already said they will oppose it.

Here’s a look at the latest on the spending bill saga.

For the bill to pass in the House, Johnson can only afford to lose one Republican vote, assuming that all members are present and voting and Democrats oppose the bill. The continuing resolution requires a majority vote of 217 among the 432 members currently sitting in the House.

Republicans control the chamber by a razor thin margin of 218-214.

But Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., has already come out saying he will vote against the bill.

"Unless I get a lobotomy Monday that causes me to forget what I've witnessed the past 12 years, I'll be a NO on the CR this week," Massie wrote on X on over the weekend. "It amazes me that my colleagues and many of the public fall for the lie that we will fight another day.”
