House lawmakers averted a partial government shutdown Wednesday night after approving a short-term funding bill that will last through Dec. 23.
The one-week extension was approved in a 224-201 vote, with all congressional Democrats and nine Republicans voting in favor of it.
Once a compromise is reached, the bill will go before the Senate for a vote, then to President Biden to become a law.
Overwhelmingly, Republican lawmakers oppose the short-term extension, complaining it would allow for a big spending bill to be passed just before Republicans take over the House, according to the Associated Press.
