Sept. 30 (UPI) — The House of Representatives on Saturday passed a Republican-sponsored 45-day stopgap government funding resolution with the help of Democrats in a bid to avert a looming government shutdown.
The final vote tally was 335-91, more than the two-thirds needed for passage.
The measure now moves to the Senate and then on to the White House where it must by signed by President Joe Biden before midnight to avoid a government shutdown.
The measure did not include additional funding for Ukraine as sought by Democrats but crucially eliminated divisive demands for tougher border security sought by GOP rebels led by Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida.
