U.S. House passes funding bill to avert shutdown, sends to Senate

CGTN

The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a stopgap measure to avert a partial federal government shutdown, with lawmakers showing broad bipartisan support for the bill.

The short-term legislation now heads to the Senate, where Democratic and Republican leaders have voiced support.

To avert a shutdown, the Senate and Republican-controlled House must enact legislation that President Joe Biden can sign into law before current funding for federal agencies expires at midnight on Friday.
