In a last-ditch effort to keep the government funded, the House passed a clean continuing resolution to keep the government funded at current spending levels for 45 days, advancing the legislation less than 10 hours before the government is set to shut down.
Lawmakers voted 335-91 on the continuing resolution, surpassing the two-thirds majority threshold needed to advance the legislation on suspension and send it to the Senate for consideration.
Should it pass the upper chamber, it would then fall to President Joe Biden to make the final decision and sign it.
