House Republicans pass government funding bill ahead of Friday shutdown deadline

The House passed a funding bill on Tuesday by a narrow vote of 217-213 to avoid a partial government shutdown, now moving to the Senate where bipartisan support is needed to pass it and send it to President Trump's desk.
The funding measure includes a $13 billion cut in non-defense spending and a $6 billion increase in defense spending, affecting critical services according to Mayor Muriel Bowser.
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., called the vote a "Big WIN for Republicans, and America," while House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized the bill as partisan and harmful for the American people.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has not yet committed to supporting the House GOP measure, leaving the bill’s fate uncertain as a shutdown could occur if no resolution is reached by the weekend.
