Short Term Funding Bill

"President Biden averts government shutdown with short-term funding bill"

President Biden has signed a bipartisan short-term funding bill to keep the government open until early 2024, extending funding for various departments. The bill passed the Senate with a vote of 87-11 and the House with a vote of 336-95. This measure clears the holiday calendar for Congress but sets the stage for a potential funding battle in December if a long-term agreement cannot be reached.
