  • Congress averted a government shutdown Friday just hours before the funding deadline, after the Senate approved a House-passed spending bill that exposed deep rifts within the Democratic Party.

Congress successfully averted a government shutdown by passing a stopgap funding bill, which was approved by the Senate with an 88-9 vote. This temporary measure extends federal funding for an additional 45 days, ensuring that government operations continue without interruption. The bill, which had already passed the House, was signed into law by President Joe Biden. This action prevents the immediate economic and operational disruptions that a shutdown would cause, including furloughs of federal workers and delays in various government services. The legislation also includes $16 billion in disaster relief but notably omits additional aid for Ukraine, reflecting ongoing debates within Congress about foreign aid priorities.
