The US Congress is voting Tuesday morning on whether to approve a bill that would see the government avoiding a shutdown.
The last time Congress tried to fund the government to prevent a shut down, it ended with the Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy losing his job.
This time, new Speaker Mike Johnson appears on track for a better outcome as he introduces a stopgap package to keep the government running into the new year.
BBC Senior North American reporter Anthony Zurcher spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
