The U.S. Senate has passed a short-term stopgap spending bill to prevent a partial government shutdown. The bill will now be sent to President Joe Biden for signing into law. The bill sets deadlines for funding different parts of the government and is seen as a temporary solution.
The U.S. Senate approved a short-term stopgap spending Bill to avert a partial Government shutdown. The bill, which passed the senate in a Bipartisan 77-13 vote, will next go to President Joe Biden 's desk for signing into law. It will set deadlines to fund one part of the Government by March 8 and the other portion by March 22. In a statement, Biden said the passage was good news for Americans because it avoids a damaging shutdown, but added, this is a short-term fix, not a long-term solution.
Earlier, in the house, 207 democrats joined 113 Republicans in a 320-99 vote to approve the short-term stopgap measure, which buys congress more time to agree on funding for the full fiscal year that began Oct. 1
