House passes 45-day government funding bill, putting Congress on a path to avoid a shutdown

House passes funding billWith just hours to spare, House Republicans and Democrats on Saturday struck a surprise deal to fund the government and avert a shutdown that would have inflicted economic pain on millions of American families.

The House voted on an overwhelming bipartisan basis, 335-91, for a short-term funding bill, known as a continuing resolution or CR. The bill will now head to the Senate, where lawmakers there say they will not object to a speedy vote.

The bill would keep the government open for another 45 days if signed into law by President Joe Biden. And it will buy more time for the House and Senate to finish fuller funding legislation.

The stunning deal came together after Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., reversed course and put a so-called “clean” 45-day CR on the floor, with billions in disaster aid but none of the new Ukraine aid Democrats had pushed for, after insisting for days that any short-term funding bill would need to include deep spending cuts and tough border security measures.
