Senate GOP eyes funding bill with Jan. 30 end date
It’s longer than appropriators would like but shorter than fiscal hard-liners are demanding.

Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) said that while Senate Republicans had mostly gelled around the date, there were still conflicting feelings within the conference, and conversations would continue.
The end date is longer than what appropriators had hoped for: They were pushing for a deadline in December to keep pressure on lawmakers to quickly reach a larger, full-year funding deal.
But House and Senate GOP leaders have been privately pushing for more time and were viewed as most likely to settle on a January date. Notably, the Jan. 30 timeline is one of the better options for House GOP leaders at this point, given that some fiscal hard-liners, who want to keep government programs running at flat funding levels, are pushing for a stopgap into November of next year.
