Hoyer predicts January shutdown likely as Congress faces spending fights
-
Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer believes a January government shutdown is likely due to lack of time for Congress to resolve spending issues when they return.
-
The first shutdown deadline is Jan. 19, followed by another on Feb. 2. Hoyer says House Speaker McCarthy has set the stage for a shutdown.
-
Hoyer hopes appropriators can reach an agreement over the holidays to avoid a shutdown. Currently there's no consensus on a top-line spending figure.
-
Hoyer remains confident the GSA choice of Greenbelt, MD for the new FBI headquarters will hold up despite a review.

At age 84, Hoyer is weighing whether to run for a 22nd House term next year. He says getting remarried has given him “new vigor and new energy.”
