Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is tentatively planning to bring up several spending bills for floor votes in mid-September.
This might not work, since the Constitution explicitly states that all funding bills must originate in the House. Schumer may get around that by attaching an amendment in the nature of a substitute to an existing bill passed by the House. Either way, it's an attempt at showmanship, brandishing "competance" as a weapon for 2024.
