Now Playing(Sept. 30) The House passed a nine-week spending bill to avert a U.S. government shutdown hours before it was set to begin on an 254 to 175 vote. The legislation passed the Senate earlier Thursday and now heads to President Joe Biden’s desk.
The bill passed both chambers after Democrats dropped an earlier attempt to attach a debt-ceiling suspension to the bill in face of implacable Republican opposition to that measure. GOP senators blocked a version of the bill containing the debt ceiling language on Monday.
The federal government would be kept open through Dec. 3 under the legislation. The bill also contains $28.6 billion for states recovering from hurricanes and wildfires as well as $6.3 billion to resettle refugees from the U.S. war in Afghanistan.
