The government will run out of money in a few months. By September 30, without a new continuing resolution, the government could shut down. That’s exactly the drama the Democrats want, as they believe it could boost their chances in the upcoming midterm elections. Right now, they’re not looking good, as they haven't gained a clear advantage over Republicans on the key issues in the generic ballot. Trump and the GOP might not be doing so well in the polls, but Democrats are worse, and their socialist insurgency isn’t helping either.
Speaker Mike Johnson is prepping a potential CR vote, and one Democratic congresswoman just showed she was asleep at the switch during the showdown over Department of Homeland Security funding. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), who looks like the lead singer from Jane’s Addiction, said she’s a “no” on the CR because it funds Border Patrol.
HOUSE RULES has kicked off. considering a number of bills, including the budget resolution, CR and NDAA.

The speaker said yes https://t.co/bVZzjEEUjU
ROSA DELAURO, top dem on Approps, is a no on CR because it doesn’t explicitly bar money from going to CBP.
