House votes to avert shutdown

On Tuesday, the House successfully passed a temporary funding bill aimed at preventing a government shutdown.

The unusual two-stage continuing resolution, the first significant challenge overcome by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) since assuming leadership, is now on its way to the Senate.

The short-term funding measure received approval in a 336-95 vote, just days before the looming shutdown deadline on Friday night. Ninety-three Republicans and two Democrats opposed the bill.

In the face of conservative resistance to the proposed spending levels, Republican leaders heavily relied on Democratic support, which, despite reservations about the unorthodox two-part approach, was predominantly in favor.

The divided bill proposes maintaining current funding levels for select agencies and programs until Jan. 19, with all others extended through Feb. 2, The Hill reported.
