Congress to push stop-gap funding bill with no border wall money

"We'll soon take up a simple measure that will continue government funding into February so that we can continue this vital (border security) debate after the new Congress has convened" in January, said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.A Senate Democratic aide said the appropriations bill, which would keep the Department of Homeland Security and several other agencies operating on a temporary basis, was expected to pass the Senate either on Wednesday or Thursday.
