Congress Passes Temporary Spending Bill Amid Debates
The Republican led House passed a stopgap spending bill 231 188 and the Senate approved 66 to 32 over Democratic opposition to avert a government shutdown. It preserves funding through Friday and sets up a fight in January over immigration health care and the budget. President Trump is expected to sign. The bill excludes $81 billion in disaster aid, a point Democrats sought to leverage next year. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer cautioned that disaster relief must be tied to other priorities.
