Will Pelosi and McConnell agree to avoid a government shutdown on December 11?

Updated 10/1/2020: The Senate passed a continuing resolution through Dec. 11, 2020, on Wednesday, Sept. 30, that the House had passed on Tuesday, Sept. 22. The President has signed it. The measure extended COVID-related nutrition benefits that would have expired on Sept. 30 for a another year, but it did not extend expanded unemployment benefits that were included in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

Yes, they need a veto-proof majority on a compromise bill. Klaralven Nov 2020 #2

And I could see many House Repukes not helping override a veto, wanting a shutdown to further crash the economy and cause governmental chaos for the incoming Biden admin.

40 days would be the bigliest shutdown ever. Over Christmas. During a raging pandemic.
