Congress avoids shutdown, bigger funding fight ahead
Original: Reporter's Notebook: Congress dodged a fall shutdown, but the real fight looms
Congress passed a stopgap measure to avoid a government shutdown this fall, but the deal only delays the underlying budget dispute. Lawmakers still face unresolved disagreements over spending levels and policy priorities, setting up a harder confrontation when the temporary funding runs out. Commentators warn the next deadline could be the real test.
Why now: A short-term funding deal has pushed a larger budget confrontation to a nearer deadline.
