Lawmakers Reach Deal On Ukraine Aid As Part Of $1.5 Trillion Spending

The video discusses the $1.5 trillion government spending bill and the deadline to pass it by Friday night. The House of Representatives is uncertain about meeting the deadline and is adopting a two-pronged approach to avoid a government shutdown. This includes voting on both a full funding bill and a short-term stopgap bill. Additionally, the House will vote on a Russian sanctions oil ban bill. The Senate is not in session today, so any actions on these bills will occur tomorrow.

What is the purpose of the short-term stopgap spending bill?

What other significant bill is the House voting on today?
