Averting a Shutdown

  • House approves temporary spending plan
  • Senate approval and presidential signature needed
  • Funding for various departments and agencies
  • No budget cuts or foreign aid for Israel or Ukraine
  • Democrats and Republicans support the bill

The House of Representatives has approved a temporary spending plan, moving it to the Senate for approval and then to President Joe Biden’s desk for signature. The bill, passed with bipartisan support, provides funding for various departments and agencies, but does not include budget cuts or foreign aid for Israel or Ukraine. The House Freedom Caucus opposed the bill, citing a lack of spending reductions and border security. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer delayed the Senate’s own continuing resolution to allow the House measure to move first.
