Pelosi, Mnuchin Agree on Plan to Avoid Government Shutdown

Associated Press

   House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Trump administration have informally
   agreed to keep a stopgap government-wide funding bill -- needed to
   avert a shutdown at the end of this month -- free of controversy or
   conflict.

   The accord is aimed at keeping any possibility of a government shutdown
   off the table despite ongoing battles over COVID-19 relief legislation,
   while sidestepping the potential for other shutdown drama in the run-up
   to the November election.
