Senate passes $1.2 trillion funding package in early morning vote, ending threat of partial shutdown

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — The Senate passed a $1.2 trillion package of spending bills in the early morning hours Saturday, a long overdue action nearly six months into the budget year that will push any threats of a government shutdown to the fall. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., talks withreporters to discuss efforts to pass the final set of spending bills to avoid a partial government shutdown, at the Capitol in Washington, March 20, 2024. Johnson broke up this fiscal year’s spending bills into two parts as House Republicans revolted against what has become an annual practice of asking them to vote for one massive, complex bill called an omnibus with little time to review it or face a shutdown. It took lawmakers six months into the current fiscal year to get near the finish line on government funding, the process slowed by conservatives who pushed for more policy mandates and steeper spending cuts than a Democratic-led Senate or White House would consider.
