WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Congress is expected to vote March 8 on a so-called omnibus spending bill to fund the U.S. government, Politico reported on Tuesday, citing House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.
Hoyer announced the plan on a call with House Democrats, Politico reporter Sarah Ferris said in a post on Twitter.
Representatives for Hoyer’s office could not be immediately reached for comment on the report.
The move comes after U.S. lawmakers last month https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-senate-aims-prompt-passage-stop-gap-bill-avert-government-shutdown-2022-02-17 approved a stopgap funding bill to fund federal agencies through March 11, avoiding a government shutdown.
Hoyer is scheduled to speak to reporters at a 11 a.m. (1600 GMT) news briefing.
