  • The passage of the funding bill came hours before a shutdown, with Democrats under fierce pressure to oppose the measure.

The legislation now awaits President Joe Biden's signature.

The bill's passage reflects a bipartisan effort to keep the government operational while further negotiations on full-year funding continue.
