Sunday shows preview: Government shutdown looms, election intensifies post-debate

A government shutdown is looming as Congress attempts to agree on a funding strategy by the end of the month. The countdown to Election Day is on and the race has intensified after this week’s presidential debate. Both topics will likely be discussed in this week’s Sunday talk shows.

House Republicans have been unable to coalesce around Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) strategy, which would have extended funding for six months. He later pulled the scheduled vote on that legislation since he faced opposition from his party.
