House passes temporary spending bill to stave off shutdown

The House passed a stopgap funding bill that will keep federal government operations running until Dec. 20.

After the House passed the bill Tuesday, it heads to the Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., pledged to pass it by Thursday, when a temporary funding measure expires.

The bill marks the second stopgap measure, or continuing resolution, that Congress has authored in place of full fiscal 2020 spending bills, which are stalled due to partisan differences in the Senate.

“This continuing resolution ensures critical government funding will remain in place through Dec. 20,” Rep. Tom Cole, an appropriator, said.
