Senate Approves Bill to Prevent Government Shutdown Before Midterm Elections
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The U.S. Senate approved a short-term funding bill on Saturday night to finance federal agencies until early December, preventing a potential government shutdown ahead of the November elections. This proactive measure is unusual for this time of year, as Congress typically waits until the last minute. The vote passed with 90 in favor and only six against, reflecting lawmakers' desire to avoid another shutdown. The bill includes provisions negotiated with the White House, such as a clause preventing funds from being transferred to the Border Patrol. The House of Representatives will vote on the measure when they return from recess.
