Sept. 30 (UPI) -- A lot of federal government employees might be laid off after the Senate votes on a continuing resolution to keep the government open while working on a new budget.
The Senate has scheduled a 5 p.m. EDT vote on the continuing resolution that would fund the government for another month while working on a Fiscal Year 2026 budget.
Democrats and Republicans each have introduced resolutions to keep the government open, but neither is expected to pass as the 2025 fiscal year ends at the end of the day on Tuesday, according to The Hill.
When asked how many federal government workers might be laid off, President Donald Trump told reporters: "We may do a lot, and that's only because of the Democrats."
