Support a two-year funding extension and debt-ceiling extension
Carter endorsed a proposal for a two-year continuing resolution to keep the government funded and extend the debt ceiling through the end of President Trump’s term. He said the approach could limit Democrats’ ability to use funding negotiations as leverage against the administration, but predicted Republicans would more likely pursue a resolution funding the government through the end of the current fiscal year.
Context: The proposal was not described as enacted; Carter said a shorter continuing resolution through Sept. 30 was more likely.
In their own words
I think that's an excellent idea and certainly something that we want to do
