$1.1tn spending package marks most substantial bipartisan legislation of Mike Johnson’s speakership – live

Good morning US politics readers. Congressional leaders on Tuesday formally announced a $1.1tn spending deal to fund the federal government, giving lawmakers less than two days to avert a partial government shutdown. The package is the most substantial bipartisan legislation that Mike Johnson has negotiated since he ascended to the speaker’s chair, and comes after disputes among House Republicans, Senate Democrats and the White House over border security funding.

The Republican-controlled House will vote on the sprawling package on Friday, leaving the Democratic-majority Senate only hours to pass the package of six bills that covers about two-thirds of the $1.66tn in discretionary government spending for the fiscal year that began on 1 October.

Here’s what else we’re watching:
