Pelosi, Mnuchin agree on plan to avoid government shutdown

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Trump administration have informally agreed to keep a stopgap government-wide funding bill — needed to avert a shutdown at the end of this month — free of controversy or conflict. The accord is aimed at keeping any possibility of a government shutdown off the table despite ongoing battles over COVID-19 relief legislation, while sidestepping the potential for other shutdown drama in the run-up to the November election. “House Democrats are for a clean continuing resolution," said Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill, referring to the stopgap bill.
