Senate passes spending bill to avert government shutdown, sending to Biden
Baku, December 21, AZERTAC
The Senate early Saturday morning passed a bill to avert a government shutdown, sending the measure to President Joe Biden to be signed into law, according to The Washington Post.
The move comes after the House overwhelmingly passed the bill on Friday. The new spending plan does not include President-elect Donald Trump’s demand to suspend the debt limit. The legislation would extend current fiscal levels until mid-March, provide $110 billion in relief to help natural-disaster survivors and aid farmers, and grant an extension for the farm bill, which must be reauthorized.
