The Senate today passed stopgap spending legislation that would ward off a looming government shutdown and keep federal funding on autopilot through Nov. 21.
The upper chamber easily cleared the bill, H.R. 4378 (116), in an 81-16 vote. President Donald Trump is expected to sign it. Current federal funding runs out Monday.
The measure buys more time for bicameral negotiations on a dozen fiscal 2020 spending bills that would provide updated funding levels for 15 federal departments and dozens of smaller federal agencies.
