The bill prevents a shutdown by providing temporary funding for the federal government until Nov. 17.
President Joe Biden has averted a government shutdown by signing the temporary funding bill 35 minutes before a critical midnight deadline when federal agency funding was about to expire.
The Senate gave the green light to a short-term funding bill, extending government operations at their current funding levels for an additional 45 days. The Senate vote was 88 to 9, and all nine who voted against the bill were Republicans.And while the president agreed that this was good news for Americans, he criticized House Republicans for breaking the budget deal made earlier this year with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
However, it's important to note that this bill does not allocate any new funds for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. "When the House returns, we expect Speaker McCarthy to advance a bill to the House Floor for an up-or-down vote that supports Ukraine, consistent with his commitment to making sure that Vladimir Putin, Russia, and authoritarianism are defeated. We must stand with the Ukrainian people until victory is won," the joint statement read.
“Here's the deal: I fought for the speaker. I fought for the gavel. When it comes to appropriations, you better bet I'm going to use my voting card to make sure this place does its job," said Georgia Representative Marjoie Taylor Greene.
