US House passes funding bill to avert government shutdown ahead of midterms

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a temporary funding bill to prevent a government shutdown, extending federal funding until December 11. The measure, which cleared the Senate in August, avoids an immediate shutdown as lawmakers prepare for the midterm elections on November 3. This decision comes after previous government shutdowns under the Trump administration, including a record-breaking 43-day shutdown in 2025 over healthcare subsidies. The bill provides Congress additional time to negotiate full-year spending bills for fiscal year 2027, which would cover programs like defense and homeland security. Some lawmakers acknowledged the timing coincides with the election season, potentially influencing future budget negotiations.
