The U.S. Congress is racing against time to finalize a budget agreement to prevent a federal government shutdown before the December 20 deadline. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer urges bipartisan cooperation, as negotiations continue over a proposed $100 billion disaster relief package requested by President Joe Biden. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson advocates for a limited budget that would fund the government only until March. The negotiations reflect ongoing tensions between moderate conservatives and Trump supporters within the Republican Party.
