House Republicans unveiled a stopgap spending bill to keep the US government open past an Oct. 1 shutdown deadline, daring Democrats to vote against the measure, which does not contain health-care policies they have demanded.

The short-term legislation would keep agencies operating through Nov. 21 and provide new funding for lawmaker, judicial and administration official security in the wake of the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk last week.

It would need the votes of at least seven Senate Democrats to meet a 60-vote threshold to overcome procedural obstacles.

Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy. On this edition, Bloomberg's Kriti Gupta is in for Kailey. Joe and Kriti speak with:

  • Bloomberg Correspondent Lizzy Burden.
  • Republican Congressman Mike Haridopolos of Florida.
  • S-3 Group Partner and Republican Strategist Ashley Davis.
  • Groundwork Collaborative Senior Strategic Advisor Kitty Richards.
