The U.S. Senate will prepare temporary spending legislation that would avert a partial government shutdown at the end of the month, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said on Thursday.

The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives will vote on legislation on Wednesday that pairs a must-pass spending bill with tighter voting rules, setting up an election year clash with the Democratic-majority Senate that risks a partial government shutdown.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced Thursday that he will act later in the day to advance a bipartisan government funding bill after Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) failed to pass

Lawmakers have until Sept. 30 to extend government funding. Internal Republican divisions are posing a problem for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).

The House has rejected Speaker Mike Johnson's bill to temporarily fund the government. The legislation that failed Wednesday would have linked temporary government funding with a mandate that states require proof of citizenship when people register to vote.

WASHINGTON—House Republicans signaled Thursday they have no appetite for a government-shutdown battle right ahead of the November election, ignoring exhortations from former President Donald Trump to hold the line on an election-security bill opposed by Democrats.

The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives was set to vote on a bill to fund the government and impose new voter registration rules, as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump urged lawmakers to force a partial government shutdown if they don't get their way.

The former president urged House Republicans to allow a partial government shutdown unless they secure the SAVE Act's proof of citizenship mandate.

Republicans in Congress now risk running afoul of former President Donald Trump if they pass a bill to keep the government funded until next year without a controversial rider making it harder for voters to cast ballots.
