The U.S. Congress approved a stopgap funding bill Thursday to keep federal agencies running for another week and avert a damaging government shutdown.
The bill, which passed the Senate in a bipartisan 77-13 vote, will next go to President Joe Biden's desk for signing into law. It will set deadlines to fund one part of the government by March 8 and the other portion by March 22.
