Today’s R&D focuses on the possibility of another government shutdown before the 2014 midterm elections. When Congress reconvenes next week, it will have ten days to reach an agreement to keep the government funded through the end of September. If an agreement is not reached, another government shutdown could occur and that could have a disastrous effect on the Republican Party’s chances of winning the Senate this fall. Republican leaders deny that they have any plans for a new shutdown.
