JUST IN: U.S. Senate Approves Government Funding Bill Just in Time to Avoid Shutdown — White House Ceased Shutdown Preparations |

The U.S. Senate has successfully passed a continuing resolution in the early hours of Saturday morning, paving the way for President Joe Biden to sign the bill into law. The Senate’s approval came with an impressive 85-11 vote, following a resounding 366-34 margin in the House.

This legislative feat occurred just after the deadline, around 12:30 a.m., bringing relief to many as federal funding is extended through March 14, 2025. The bill also includes provisions for over $100 billion in disaster relief and agricultural aid, addressing crucial needs in these sectors.

The White House had been gearing up for a potential government shutdown but halted preparations once the bill was passed. President Biden is expected to promptly sign the legislation into effect, ensuring the smooth continuation of federal operations.

The journey to passing this bill was not without its challenges, with a tumultuous week in Congress marked by intense negotiations and interventions from key figures like President-elect Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk. A prior agreement by Schumer-Johnson was derailed following criticisms from Trump and Musk, leading to significant revisions in the proposed legislation.

The final package includes $100 billion for disaster relief and $10 billion for farmers, along with extensions for expiring farm and food aid programs. Notably, the bill does not include provisions for a debt ceiling increase, a contentious point pushed by Trump but ultimately omitted to secure bipartisan support.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, who faced criticism from both Trump and Musk during negotiations, managed to rally support from all Democrats. In a statement following the vote, Johnson expressed gratitude for the bipartisan effort and emphasized the bill’s importance in funding the government until March 2025.

The Speaker highlighted the bill’s focus on addressing the needs of Americans affected by recent hurricanes and struggling farmers, attributing these challenges to the impact of current economic policies. Johnson also mentioned discussions with President Trump and Elon Musk, emphasizing unity and the upcoming implementation of the America First agenda in January.

The House’s passage of the American Relief Act was met with overwhelming support, as Speaker Johnson took to Twitter to celebrate the milestone. The legislation aims to deliver much-needed relief to hurricane victims and support hardworking farmers, setting the stage for President Trump to enact his agenda from day one.

As developments unfold, this story continues to evolve, capturing the dynamic landscape of legislative action and political maneuvers in Washington.
