The United States government is on the verge of a shutdown as congress races to reach a last-minute deal before the clock strikes midnight.
Republican leaders, who control congress, failed to pass a proposed spending plan on Thursday night aimed at averting the shutdown. The core issue is that congress has yet to agree on a budget for the fiscal year, which began on October 1. Essential services, such as the military, air traffic control, hospitals, and public safety operations, will continue. Military retiree benefits, funded by a separate trust, will also continue, though delays may occur due to reduced staffing.The spending bill failed to gain traction due to sharp divisions within the Republican Party and external influences.
