House passes short-term funding bill to avert shutdown before midterms

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The House of Representatives has passed a short-term government funding bill by a vote of 370-48, extending federal agency operations until mid-December. This measure aims to prevent a government shutdown as lawmakers campaign for reelection. The bill, which has already passed the Senate, now awaits President Trump's signature. Key provisions include preventing the Department of Homeland Security from transferring funds to the Border Patrol and delaying a proposed rule that would grant political appointees more authority over federal grants.
