The is Senate back in session this week, meaning there there are only 3 weeks until September 30th- the deadline for a resolution to avoid a government shutdown. Greg Valliere Chief U.S. Policy Strategist, AGF Investments doubts a resolution will be reached due to “hardliners in the House who want to ‘defy’” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy with “unrealistic demands.” Nonetheless, Valliere does not think there will be any dire implications from the shutdown. As far as budgeting reform goes, Semafor Editor-at-Large Steve Clemons argues that it would only be possible if “those at the edge of power” can hold McCarthy “hostage.” Regarding a final solution, Valliere insists that either a temporary resolution will be put in place or shutdown will take place, but either way- “this thing is going to drag on until the middle of December.”
