The U.S. Senate passed the continuing resolution early Saturday morning, sending it to Joe Biden for his signature.
The Senate approved the bill with an 85-11 vote, following the House’s passage by a 366-34 margin.
This swift legislative action came just minutes before the midnight deadline, effectively averting a shutdown that could have disrupted federal operations and left millions of government employees without pay during the holiday season.
The legislation, now en route to President Joe Biden’s desk, extends federal funding through March 14, 2025, and allocates over $100 billion for disaster relief and agricultural aid.
This is a developing story.
