The US Congress approved a funding bill Saturday in a rare show of cross-party unity, keeping federal agencies running through September and averting a damaging partial government shutdown.
“It is good for the American people that we have reached a bipartisan agreement to finish the job,” he added before the bill received final approval. Senators were preparing to adjourn with no deal on holding a vote, which would have prompted the White House Office of Management and Budget to begin scaling back operations in key federal agencies on Saturday morning.
“Because obligations of federal funds are incurred and tracked on a daily basis, agencies will not shut down and may continue their normal operations.” The resolution, a rare maneuver that requires a simple majority to pass, comes after the same move led to the removal of previous speaker Kevin McCarthy last fall – and weeks of infighting as Republicans rejected several potential replacements before settling on Johnson.
