The House developed a six-month bill that would continue funding the government and raise the debt ceiling, while making drastic cuts, but some senators aren't fans of the legislation. And they're floating just a 30-day stopgap.

House Republicans are hoping to vote Tuesday on a stopgap bill aimed at funding the federal government through September 30 and preventing a shutdown after Friday.

U.S. Senate Democrats were wrestling on Wednesday with how to respond to a stopgap funding bill passed by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, choosing between voting for a bill many of them oppose or allowing a government shutdown.
