White House preps federal agencies for possible shutdown
The Biden administration is preparing for the possibility of a government shutdown next weekend.
The White House budget office is advising federal agencies to review and update their shutdown plans. If parts of the government don’t have funding on October 1st, a range of services could be affected, including food safety programs, air travel and passport processing. Plus, millions of federal employees and military service members would not receive paychecks. President Biden blames congressional Republicans for the likely shutdown — and officials here say he has no plans to intervene in the GOP budget debate.
