U.S. Senate's proposed stopgap funding measure unlikely to advance in House: Speaker McCarthy

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday the Senate's proposed stopgap funding measure is unlikely to advance in the House, as a federal government shutdown looks increasingly likely.

"I don't see the support in the House" for the Senate bill, McCarthy told reporters, referring to a short-term funding bill unveiled by the Senate Tuesday afternoon.
