Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Sunday that he and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) have agreed to work on a short-term spending bill to avert a government shutdown Oct. 1, weeks before the election.
The speaker and I have agreed we dont want to see a government shutdown, Mnuchin said on Fox News Sunday.
Mnuchin said his expectation is that this so-called continuing resolution would extend government funding into December although the date has not yet been agreed on.
Without action by Congress, agency funding would expire at midnight Sept. 30, and the government would begin to shut down. Mnuchins comments confirmed reporting from The Washington Post and other outlets on agreement for a stopgap spending bill to avoid this outcome.

Why is Mnuchin negotiating? Is Moscow Mitch too lazy or incompetent?
