"Biden Signs $1.2 Trillion Spending Package to Avoid Government Shutdown"
TL;DR
President Joe Biden signed a $1.2 trillion spending package, ending months of Congress struggling to secure a permanent budget resolution and averting government shutdowns. The bipartisan funding bill will keep the government funded until October 1 and includes six appropriation bills funding various agencies. The budget deal was passed by the Senate in a 74-24 vote after last-minute disagreements, and the House narrowly passed it after a week of scrambling. However, hardline House Republicans criticized the bill, and there are concerns about potential challenges to House Speaker Mike Johnson's leadership.
