Congress to consider six appropriations bills this week

An ag lobbyist says he’s optimistic Congress can pass a bipartisan appropriations package to prevent partial government shutdown ahead of Friday’s deadline.

Randy Russell tells Brownfield the U.S. House will vote the package first to fund the USDA and five other agencies in the 2024 fiscal year.

“I don’t think the House will vote until sometime Wednesday or even Thursday.”

And then, the Senate will vote before going to President Joe Biden for a signature.
