Congress set to keep govt open delay action on border wall

-Source- The Boston Herald- Congress is set to pass a crucial spending bill that averts a government shutdown but theres one potential obstacle: President Donald Trump. Neither party wants the government to close ahead of the midterm elections that will determine control of Congress but Trump has made clear his frustration at the lack of additional money for his long-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. He says it is ridiculous the wall has yet to be fully funded. With less than a week before a Sept. 30 deadline for a partial shutdown Republican leaders hope they can get Trump to set aside his frustration about the wall and sign legislation that funds the military and a host of civilian agencies for the next year. The bill also would provide a short-term fix to keep the government running through Dec. 7. The Senate easily approved the measure last week with only seven senators voting no.
