The House adjourned on Friday evening without a clear path forward on a deal to avert a partial government shutdown, as lawmakers continue to wrestle over funding for President Trump’s border wall.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has advised members that there are currently no votes scheduled for Saturday but lawmakers should stay in town as Congress barrels toward a partial government shutdown.
The California Republican said he will provide members with “ample” warning time before they call another vote on government funding, which is set to expire at midnight Friday for a number of key agencies and departments.
McCarthy later told reporters he is advising members to stay in town while they wait to see the outcome of negotiations in the Senate, where there are also no more votes expected on Friday night before the shutdown deadline.
