The United States House of Representatives passed a funding bill on Friday that averted a midnight shutdown.
The bill has now been passed to the Senate which needs to approve the legislation to ensure the government remains funded beyond midnight on Friday . The legislation would extend funding for the government until March 14 but does not raise the debt ceiling, defying President-elect Donald Trump's demand to greenlight trillions of dollars in new debt. The White House has confirmed President Joe Biden will sign the bill into law once it has been passed by the Senate.
