Extend government funding into the next year

Keith Self urged Republicans to fund the government “deep into the next year” before they lose their House majority, saying the goal was to avoid what he called “Democrat cuts.” This was a stated year-end priority, not a specified funding proposal: Self did not identify a measure or amount, and lawmakers faced a Dec. 11 deadline to prevent a shutdown because federal agencies were funded through that date under a law signed in September.

Context: Self did not specify how far into the next year funding should extend.

In their own words

We need to fund the government deep into the next year so that we're not looking at Democrat cuts.
