President Biden Signs Measure To Avert Government Shutdown

The bill will keep the government temporarily open through November 17th while talks continue to establish a more permanent solution.

President Biden signed a stopgap bill to avoid a government shutdown.

Congress passed the measure just hours ahead of a critical midnight deadline when funding for federal agencies was set to run out.

The bill will keep the government temporarily open through November 17th while talks continue to establish a more permanent solution.

The stopgap bill includes natural disaster aid and a measure to keep the federal aviation administration in operation. However, it does not include additional funding for Ukraine or border security.

The temporary bill averted a shutdown that could have resulted in consequential impacts across the Nation from travel to clean drinking water and many operations would have come to a halt.
