Lawmakers reached a deal in principle Thursday on 12 annual spending bills to fund the government and avoid a shutdown.
Appropriators reached agreement on a number of contentious issues, including how to fund President Trump’s proposed border wall.
“We had a very good meeting, and there’s a meeting of the minds, and we’re going to look through some of the details, but I feel confident that we’re going to have a product very shortly,” House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.) said Thursday following days of negotiations.
