US House Passes Temporary Funding Bill to Prevent Government Shutdown Before Midterms
The US House of Representatives passed a stopgap funding bill to keep the federal government funded through December 4, aiming to prevent a shutdown before the midterm elections. The measure, approved mostly along party lines, was advanced unusually early by House Republicans to manage legislative priorities. Democrats opposed the bill, citing insufficient bipartisan negotiation. The legislation now moves to the Senate for consideration, allowing more time for discussions on appropriations and defense spending.
