Senate passes stopgap funding bill to avert shutdown
(Worthy News) – The Senate on Thursday easily passed a stopgap bill to avert an end-of-month shutdown, even as lawmakers signaled bigger spending fights ahead over President Trump’s desired U.S.-Mexico border wall.
The Senate voted 82-15 to pass the bill, which would keep the government running through Nov. 21. The Democrat-led House passed it last week and the president is expected to sign it into law.
