US Government Shutdown Averted as Funding Bill Clears Senate, Heads to President Biden
The United States government narrowly avoided a shutdown after the Senate passed a bipartisan funding bill early Saturday morning. The bill, which will temporarily keep federal operations running and provide disaster aid, was approved by the Senate with an 85-11 vote, just past the midnight deadline.
Senators worked late into the night to ensure the bill’s passage, which will now be sent to President Joe Biden for final approval. The legislation marks a crucial step in maintaining government functions and providing critical relief, avoiding the disruptions of a shutdown.
