Congress Passes Short-Term Funding Bill to Avert Shutdown Until Dec. 20
Sep 25, 2024, 08:52 PM
The U.S. Congress has successfully passed a short-term funding bill to avert a government shutdown, ensuring federal agencies remain funded until December 20. The House approved the measure with a 341-82 vote, relying heavily on Democratic support after removing a Trump-demanded provision requiring proof of citizenship to vote. Speaker Mike Johnson had to rely on Democrats as 82 Republicans voted against the bill. The Senate subsequently passed the bill with a 78-18 vote. The legislation now awaits President Biden's signature. This stopgap measure also includes a $231 million allocation for the Secret Service to enhance security for presidential candidates ahead of the November elections.
