The U.S. House overwhelmingly approved a short-term spending measure, securing passage with broad bipartisan support to extend federal funding until mid-December. The vote prevents an immediate government shutdown while delaying broader budget negotiations. Lawmakers have sidestepped contentious fiscal debates for now, opting for a temporary solution. The move reflects ongoing tensions over long-term funding priorities as lawmakers race against the clock to finalize a full-year budget.


The U.S. House voted 370-48 to pass a bill authorizing government spending through Dec. 11, pushing off budget talks and avoiding a potential shutdown.
