The U.S. House of Representatives passes a stopgap funding measure to prevent a government shutdown before the end of September. Multiple outlets report the bill is a continuing resolution that keeps federal funding in place through early December, giving Congress time to negotiate longer-term spending.
The legislation extends government operations through Dec. 11, according to reports from ABC News, NBC News, NPR, CBS News, and others. The Washington Post says it now goes to President Donald Trump’s desk. The Guardian adds more detail on the vote, reporting passage by a wide margin (370–48), and describes the move as a way to defuse a dispute ahead of the November midterm elections.
Outlets differ mainly in emphasis: some focus on the immediate deadline and shutdown avoidance, while others highlight the political timing around the midterms and the broader spending fight pushed to after the election. Overall, they agree the House action averts a shutdown and maintains current funding levels until mid-December.
