The powerful Senate Appropriations Committee was set to consider the bill Thursday, along with four other full-year funding measures.

The decision did not come as a surprise, as it was a key sticking point in spending talks earlier this year in the wake of the collapse of a bipartisan border deal. 

“Over the last few weeks, we have made serious progress writing strong, bipartisan funding bills—passing seven so far out of Committee with overwhelming bipartisan support,” Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), head of the committee, said in a Monday statement. 

“I look forward to keeping the momentum up on Thursday when we consider another four bills, and we will continue working toward a bipartisan agreement on the Homeland Security bill,” she added. 

The appropriations committee is responsible for passing the 12 annual bills to fund the federal government.

Congress has roughly two months until a late-September government shutdown deadline. 

The House has so far passed five appropriations bills for fiscal 2025. But the chamber struggled to pass several other funding bills last week before breaking a week early for the summer recess.
