The President signed a bill to continue funding the federal government into December, avoiding a shutdown hours before money would have run out
The move allows lawmakers and Trump to work for another month to come up with a deal on funding the government. The deadline to avoid another government shutdown is now December 20.Earlier on Thursday, the Senate passed the short-term funding bill by a vote of 74-20. The House had passed the bill earlier in the week.
Against the backdrop of the impeachment inquiry, lawmakers have not yet reached bipartisan agreement on the 12 regular annual appropriations bills needed to fund the government. The passage of another stop-gap measure will allow for more time to negotiate. Congress already passed a short-term funding extension earlier in the year -- at the end of September -- that set up the impending funding deadline this week.
