The U.S. House of Representatives plans to vote on the interim appropriations bill next Monday

According to five U.S. Republican officials, Republican leaders are planning to vote on a temporary spending bill next week to extend government funds until November 21, Friday before Thanksgiving, according to five U.S. Republican officials. House Appropriations Committee Chairman Cole confirmed Thursday that a vote will take place next Monday, a move that would advance a measure that Democratic leaders have hinted to veto. "We can do it. The gap is not big. But it's also difficult to do it with the few remaining time we have, because I may have to finish it by the end of next week," Cole said. If the interim appropriations bill passes in the House, Senate Republicans may also put the bill on the agenda next week. The date of November 21 has not been completely finalized.
