US House approves bill to avert midnight government shutdown

India Today  

The Republican-controlled US House of Representatives passed legislation on Friday that would avert a midnight government shutdown, defying President-elect Donald Trump's demand to also greenlight trillions of dollars in new debt. The Democratic-controlled Senate will also need to pass the bill to advance it to President Joe Biden, who the White House said would sign it into law to ensure the US government will be funded beyond midnight, when current funding expires. The bill also left out Trump's demand to the nation's debt ceiling, which was resoundingly rejected by the House -- including 38 Republicans -- on Thursday. The federal government last shut down for 35 days during Trump's first White House term over a dispute about border security.
