U.S. House Approves Temporary Funding Bill, Preventing Government Shutdown

The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 6500, a short-term bipartisan funding bill, by a 370-48 vote. This action extends government funding through December 11, 2026, successfully averting an immediate shutdown. The measure, previously approved by the Senate, postpones the debate over full-year appropriations until after the November midterm elections, impacting budget stability.
