US Senate votes 90-6 to approve short-term funding bill extending federal operations through Dec. 11, averting a shutdown before the Sept. 30 deadline.
The U.S. Senate voted 90-6 early Saturday to approve a short-term funding measure to keep federal operations running through Dec. 11, avoiding a government shutdown ahead of the Sept. 30 funding deadline and the Nov. 3 midterm elections. The bill now needs to be reconciled with the House version passed last month before Trump can sign it.
