The House passed a bill to fund the government for 45 days, to avert government shutdown hours before it was to go into effect.
The House passed a bill 335-91 to fund the government for 45 days, Saturday afternoon, hours before a The bill put on the floor by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy ultimately won support from more Democrats than Republicans. Ninety Republicans voted no, and just a single Democrat voted against the short-term funding measure.
"The House is going to act so government will not shut down," McCarthy said, after an early-morning meeting with the Republican conference Saturday."We will put a clean funding, stopgap on the floor to keep government open for 45 days for the House and Senate to get their work done." "Knowing what transpired through the summer — the disasters in Florida, the horrendous fire in Hawaii and also disasters in California and Vermont — we will put the supplemental portion that the president asks for in disaster there, too," McCarthy said.
The Senate had been working on advancing its own bill that was initially supported by Democrats and Republicans and would fund the government through Nov. 17.
