Republicans and Democrats on Tuesday stopped short of supporting specific legislation that would effectively end government shutdowns by keeping funding stable even if lawmakers fail to pass appropriations measures on time.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said he backs a House nonbinding resolution lawmakers will vote on today disapproving of government shutdowns. But he said he does not support a more ambitious measure that would sustain government funding with a “continuing resolution” when Congress hits a spending impasse like the one that just ended after a 35-day partial government shutdown.
