A group of Republicans in the House has thrown their support behind a plan that could put an end to the Schumer Shutdown with the passage of a short-term federal funding bill that would fund the government until January 2026.
The Republican Study Committee (RSC) Steering Committee has called for a short-term fix that would extend the current clean continuing resolution, which has been blocked by Senate Democrats since October 1 and is set to expire on November 21. The latest proposal would keep the government open until at least the early part of 2026.

NEW: The largest Congressional caucus is backing a new short-term funding bill to end the Democrat Shutdown.
The Republican Study Committee (RSC) Steering Committee is calling for a government funding extension into at least January 2026 — without renewing wasteful COVID-era subsidies that fuel fraud and drive up costs.
Democrats are choosing to inflict pain on the American people. It's time to end this madness.
The conservative de facto think tank issued a statement to Fox News describing their plan:
"Democrats are responsible for the longest government shutdown in U.S. history — paralyzing our country and deepening the healthcare crisis sparked by Obamacare," reads a statement first obtained by Fox News Digital.
"House conservatives support a return to regular order accomplished only by a continuing resolution that funds the government at least into January 2026."
"We are also committed to delivering a healthcare system that is truly accessible, affordable, and spurs innovation. Congress should reject any extension of the wasteful COVID-era subsidies that fuel fraud and drive up costs," they said.
Last month, House Republicans voted to extend the clean, non-partisan CR that would keep the government open until November 21, which Congress passed in March. But the Senate Democrats refused, and as a result, the government closed, with Thursday marking the 37th day of the closure.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (LA-4) said at a recent press conference that, "We're very mindful of the calendar. We're very frustrated by that."
"It's part of the reason we're so angry about this, because they're eating up the clock, and the Democrats know how much more we have to do here this year," he added. "Our leaders will go and meet on the calendar."
Politico reported the following:
Senators are discussing a deal that could involved moving a package of funding bills alongside a new stopgap that would reopen government, along with a vote for Democrats on extending expiring health insurance subsidies. Those talks continued over the weekend, and while lawmakers feel they're making progress, GOP leaders have made clear that they will not allow any full-year funding bills to advance without securing a deal to reopen the government first.
ALSO: Democrats Are Again Lying About Supposed Medicare/Medicaid Cuts in the Budget CR
The government being closed for more than a month has affected everything from no paychecks for air traffic controllers, SNAP beneficiaries, to members of our military. And there really appears to be no end in sight, after the Democrats' electoral victories on Tuesday.
Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
