American lawmakers will begin discussions on the budget

US lawmakers return from summer recess today and will begin work on efforts to avoid a government shutdown.

Lawmakers are expected to consider a short-term government funding measure that would also include emergency funding for Ukraine and disaster-hit areas in the United States.

Congress must act quickly on the budget issue, considering that government funding will run out on September 30. Efforts to reach an agreement between Democrats and Republicans on government funding are expected to take place at a time when the Republican minority leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, and one of the Republican leaders of the House of Representatives, the lawmaker Steve Scalise, are facing health problems.

President Biden and US lawmakers, including House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, are focused on passing a short-term measure that would fund the government at the same level as the current budget.

But Mr. McCarthy is facing resistance from a number of lawmakers in his own Republican party, including hard-line conservatives who have openly supported the idea of ??a partial government shutdown.

Conservative Republican budget proposals are expected to be rejected by the Democratic-controlled Senate. Thus, the Speaker of the House of Representatives may be forced to seek the support of Democratic lawmakers to approve a short-term measure to finance the government./ VOA
