The Senate votes Thursday on a last-minute deal to avert a government shutdown.

Politicians have just over 24-hours to avoid a potentially disastrous government shutdown.

"He's called me; we had a good conversation. I think there's every indication he's going to be a good candidate," McConnell told Politico of Walker.

McConnell noted that he might face conflict with Trump if the former president endorses Senate candidates McConnell doesn't support.

Nobody should assume the Federal Reserve can help if Congress fails to lift the debt limit ahead of a mid-October deadline, Powell said.

Mitch McConnell takes a decidedly dim view of Donald Trump.

If the government defaults on its debt, the resulting downturn would be similar to the 2008 financial crisis, Mark Zandi of Moody's said.

The bill proposed by Democrats, will likely include higher taxes for the rich and corporations, paid parental and sick leave, and more money for seniors' healthcare.

Prosecutors do not name the candidate, but ex-President Donald Trump hosted a fundraiser that night at the Ritz-Carlton in Center City, Philadelphia.

Democrats plan to combine temporary government funding with an increase in the debt limit, which Republicans say they will oppose.

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer announced they would attach a debt ceiling suspension to a government funding bill, daring the GOP. McConnell answered.

"Paying America's bills shouldn't be a controversial issue," Yellen wrote in a WSJ opinion piece, but the GOP says it won't help Democrats do it.

McConnell, a deft politician and prodigious fundraiser, has led the Senate GOP caucus since 2007, serving as majority leader from 2015 until 2021.

The Supreme Court is having a credibility crisis as fewer and fewer Americans believe that it is a nonpartisan, unbiased institution.

Congress has just weeks to avoid a "catastrophic default" on its debt, JPMorgan's David Kelly said. Lawmakers are squabbling over an agreement.

Trump has lashed out at McConnell repeatedly since leaving the White House, including after he criticized the former president for the January 6 riot.

Sen. Lindsey Graham was urging the president to focus on the future, not the past, according to a forthcoming book excerpt obtained by CNN.

Republicans remain united in opposition to raising the debt ceiling but not on the basis that it does not need to be raised, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday. (Reporting by Makini Brice;)

She's concerned the public may increasingly see the court as partisan.

The White House, sources say, wants to include a hike in a bill that would require GOP votes to pass.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has said he wants the bipartisan infrastructure package considered before the August recess.

President Biden taunted Senate Minority Leader McConnell for acknowledging Kentucky will receive money from the American Rescue Plan - despite his not having voted for it

McConnell talked about the benefits of Biden's American Rescue Plan and its impact on Kentucky but mentioned how the package passed along party lines.

President Joe Biden made the case for spending trillions of dollars on U.S. infrastructure, paid for by higher taxes on corporations, at an Illinois community college on Wednesday, as opposition builds from U.S. business groups.
