The U.S. House of Representatives passed a new spending bill to prevent a partial government shutdown. The deadline was January 30.
This vote represents a significant bipartisan agreement. It comes shortly after the end of the longest government shutdown in American history.
The legislation funds several key federal departments. These include agencies related to transportation, housing, and agriculture.
The bill now moves to the Senate, where it is also expected to pass. President Trump has indicated he will sign it into law.
