华盛顿讯 —— 众议院周二通过一项法案，将政府拨款期限延长至12月，避免在11月中期选举前夕的竞选关键阶段出现政府停摆。
参议院早在8月初的五周休会期前就通过了这项两党短期拨款法案，但众议院当时已经开始了漫长的夏季休会。众议院周一复会后，在共和党领导人快速推进法案流程、要求三分之二多数票通过的情况下，最终以370票赞成、48票反对的结果通过了该法案。
目前联邦拨款的到期日定为12月11日，比中期选举晚一个多月，而未来两年国会参众两院的权力平衡将在此次选举中决出结果。
自4月以来，众议院拨款委员会已经推进了全部12项年度联邦政府拨款法案，其中3项已在众议院全院获得通过。但该进程在参议院陷入停滞，没有任何一项拨款法案能从参议院拨款委员会获得通过。
众议院多数党领袖、路易斯安那州共和党议员史蒂夫·斯卡利斯周二表示：“我们希望达成更长期的协议，但至少我们要确保政府能够获得充足资金、正常运转。”
众议院拨款委员会主席、俄克拉荷马州共和党众议员汤姆·科尔对此次延期能否为国会通过全年拨款法案提供足够缓冲表示怀疑。
他周二称：“参议院浪费了整整一年半的时间，一项法案都没通过。”他将责任归咎于参议院民主党人，“连一项都没完成，这毫无借口可言。”
科尔暗示，12月国会要么通过为期一年的临时拨款法案打破僵局，要么就会出现政府停摆。
“我们将面临严峻时刻。”他说道。
如果没有临时拨款法案，当前的进展停滞意味着9月30日拨款到期后，政府停摆几乎已成定局。除了对普通美国民众造成影响外，政府停摆还可能打乱议员们的竞选计划。国会原计划在10月几乎全程休会，以便议员们返回各自选区开展竞选活动。
众议院曾在7月初步通过一项由共和党牵头的法案，将拨款维持在当前水平直至12月4日，该法案几乎未获得众议院民主党议员支持，因为民主党方面希望对边境巡逻队的拨款施加限制。参议院随后通过了一项两党法案，将拨款截止日期推迟至12月11日。该法案包含多项民主党诉求，其中一项条款将封堵民主党所称的特朗普政府向边境巡逻队转移资金的漏洞，同时加入了临时阻止政治任命官员取消联邦拨款的相关条款。
据众议院民主党核心小组主席、加利福尼亚州众议员皮特·阿吉拉尔透露，众议院拨款委员会资深民主党议员、康涅狄格州众议员罗莎·德拉罗在周二上午的民主党核心小组每周会议上，鼓励议员们支持这项临时拨款法案。
“这是排名委员成员发出的重要表态。”阿吉拉尔说道。
Congress passes funding bill to avoid October shutdown, pushing fight past midterms

Washington — The House on Tuesday passed a measure to extend government funding into December, averting a shutdown in the final stretch of the campaign ahead of the November midterm elections.
The Senate approved the short-term bipartisan funding bill in early August before its five-week recess, but the House was already on its lengthy summer break. The House, which returned Monday, passed the measure in a 370 to 48 vote after GOP leaders fast-tracked the bill, requiring two-thirds majority support for passage.
Funding is now set to expire on Dec. 11, more than a month after the midterm elections, when the balance of power in the House and Senate for the next two years will be decided.
Since April, the House Appropriations Committee has advanced all 12 annual appropriations bills that fund the federal government. Three have been approved by the full House. The process has stalled in the Senate, where none of the funding measures have made it out of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
“We want to get a longer-term deal, but at a minimum, let’s ensure that we can continue to see government properly funded and functioning,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, a Louisiana Republican, said Tuesday.
GOP Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, was doubtful that the extension would provide enough cushion for Congress to pass full-year legislation.
“The Senate has wasted the entire year and a half. They have not passed a single bill,” he said Tuesday, blaming Senate Democrats. “There’s no excuse for not having a single one done.”
Cole suggested that there will either be a yearlong stopgap measure to break the impasse in December, or a shutdown.
“We’re going to be in a crunch time,” he said.
Without a stopgap measure, the lack of progress meant a shutdown was all but certain after funding lapses on Sept. 30. In addition to its effects on everyday Americans, a shutdown could have scuttled lawmakers’ campaign plans. Congress is scheduled to be out of session for nearly all of October to allow members to be in their home districts to campaign.
The House initially passed a GOP-led bill in July to extend funding at current levels until Dec. 4. It passed with little support from House Democrats, who wanted restrictions on Border Patrol funding. The Senate later passed a bipartisan measure to punt the deadline to Dec. 11. That bill included several Democratic demands, including a provision that would close a loophole that Democrats said allowed the Trump administration to transfer funds to Border Patrol, and language that would temporarily prevent political appointees from canceling federal grants.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, encouraged Democrats to support the stopgap measure during their weekly caucus meeting Tuesday morning, according to Rep. Pete Aguilar of California.
“That’s a big statement from the ranking member,” said Aguilar, the chair of the House Democratic Caucus.
