Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer on Thursday set up a vote on a stopgap bill in his chamber following the failed attempt to pass a government funding patch out of the House.

The U.S. Senate will prepare stopgap spending bill that would avert a looming partial government shutdown, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said on Thursday, as House Republicans offered no hint as to what their next move would be.

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 a partisan six-month funding measure that was tied to voter registration reform.
