U.S. Senate passes stopgap funding bill, likely averting government shutdown
- The U.S. Senate passed a temporary funding measure to support federal agencies until December 11.
- The vote was 90 in favor and 6 against, with one senator abstaining.
- This measure aims to prevent a government shutdown on October 1, the start of the new fiscal year.
- The House of Representatives still needs to coordinate on the bill after returning from recess.
On Saturday, the U.S. Senate passed a temporary funding measure to keep federal agencies operational until December 11. This action is intended to avert a potential government shutdown just weeks before the upcoming midterm elections in November.
The Senate's vote concluded with 90 senators in favor and 6 against, while Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina abstained from voting. Although this measure helps in preventing a shutdown on October 1, it does not guarantee that a shutdown will be avoided entirely.
Following this, the House of Representatives will need to return from recess and coordinate on the bill to finalize the funding arrangement.
美国参议院通过临时拨款法案，可能避免政府关门
周六，美国参议院通过了一项临时拨款法案，以维持联邦机构的运作，直到12月11日。此举旨在避免在即将到来的11月中期选举前发生潜在的政府关门。
参议院的投票结果为90票赞成，6票反对，南卡罗来纳州的林赛·格雷厄姆参议员弃权。尽管该法案有助于防止10月1日发生关门，但并不能保证完全避免关门。
接下来，众议院需要在休会后返回并协调该法案，以最终确定拨款安排。
