U.S. Senate passes stopgap funding bill, likely averting government shutdown
- The U.S. Senate passed a temporary funding measure on Saturday to finance federal agencies until December 11.
- The vote was 90 in favor and 6 against, with Senator Lindsey Graham 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 August 8, the U.S. Senate passed a temporary funding measure aimed at financing federal agencies through December 11. This legislative action is intended to avoid a potential government shutdown just weeks before the November midterm elections.
The Senate vote concluded with 90 senators in favor and 6 against, while Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina chose to abstain from the vote. Although this measure helps prevent a shutdown on October 1, it does not completely eliminate the risk of a government shutdown in the future.
Following this development, the House of Representatives will need to return from recess and coordinate on the bill to ensure its passage and implementation.
美国参议院通过临时拨款法案，可能避免政府关门
在8月8日，美国参议院通过了一项临时拨款法案，旨在资助联邦机构直到12月11日。这项立法行动旨在避免在11月中期选举前几周可能发生的政府关门。
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·格雷厄姆参议员选择弃权。尽管该法案有助于防止10月1日的政府关门，但并未完全消除未来发生政府关门的风险。
在这一发展之后，众议院需要在休会后返回并协调该法案，以确保其通过和实施。
