Trump Signs Stopgap Funding Bill to Prevent Government Shutdown Before Midterms
President Donald Trump signed a bipartisan stopgap funding bill to prevent a US government shutdown before the November midterm elections, extending federal spending through December 11. Congress approved the measure with wide support, allowing more time to resolve budget disagreements. While the bill averts an immediate crisis, it postpones broader fiscal challenges and political battles over congressional control, which will influence future spending negotiations after the elections.
