Senate passes government funding bill, sending it to the House to avoid a shutdown
Summary by Ground News
The U.S. Senate on Thursday passed a bill to fund federal government activities through Dec. 16. The 72-25 vote sent the stopgap funding bill on to the House of Representatives, which is expected to act before the deadline. A government shutdown would prove embarrassing for Democrats who control the House, Senate and White House.
