US House passes short-term funding bill to avoid government shutdown ahead of midterm elections
The House of Representatives has passed a short-term funding bill aimed at preventing a government shutdown by extending federal funding through December 4, just weeks before the November midterm elections.
The measure, H.R. 9770, the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2027, passed by a vote of 220-205, with six Democrats joining Republicans in support and one Republican voting against the bill.
The stopgap measure, known as a continuing resolution (CR), would fund the federal government through December 4, extending government operations beyond the September 30 funding deadline.
Speaker Mike Johnson said House Republicans took the “responsible step” of passing the short-term continuing resolution to fund the government through the November elections.
