The House passed a measure that funds the government through Dec. 3 and suspends the debt limit through 2022. The bill faces a standoff in the Senate.
WASHINGTON—The House passed Tuesday a measure keeping the government funded until early December and suspending its borrowing limit through 2022, but without having resolved the partisan standoff poised to derail it in the Senate.
With less than two weeks before the government’s current funding expires at 12:01 a.m. Oct. 1, the House passed in a 220-211 party-line vote a package unveiled earlier in the day that would fund the government through Dec. 3, 2021, and suspend the debt limit through Dec. 16, 2022. The Treasury Department is currently using emergency measures to cover America’s bills for several months until the debt limit is raised or suspended again.
