Government Shutdown Risk Rises as Senate Leaves Until Sept. 29 - What Korean Americans Should Know Before Sept. 30

Since our Sept. 21 story, the shutdown odds have ticked up. On Sept. 19, the Senate failed to advance both a Republican stopgap bill and a Democratic alternative, and as of Sunday night lawmakers indicated the Senate won't return for votes until Sept. 29, leaving only hours before funding runs out at midnight going into Oct. 1 (ET). The House is currently out but is slated to convene again this week ahead of the deadline, according to the Clerk's schedule.
