U.S. House passes funding bill to avert shutdown before midterms
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution on Tuesday to extend federal government funding through December 11, 2026. The measure, which passed with a 370-48 vote, aims to avert a government shutdown before the upcoming midterm elections in November.
The funding extension maintains current spending levels with several key provisions. It includes a delay in a crackdown on certain hemp-derived products and blocks a proposed rule that would increase political influence over the distribution of federal research grants. Additionally, the bill prevents the transfer of funds to the Border Patrol from other programs.
The Senate had previously approved the measure in August. The resolution now moves to President Donald Trump for his signature. Lawmakers noted that the stopgap measure provides necessary time to negotiate a comprehensive budget for the 2027 fiscal year following the election cycle. Some Republican members expressed dissatisfaction, noting the bill does not address the national debt or include specific policy changes regarding surveillance technology or immigration funding.
