House Passes Short-Term Funding Bill to Avert Government Shutdown

by | Mar 11, 2025

The House voted Tuesday to approve a short-term federal funding bill, with the measure passing largely along party lines. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) joined Democrats in opposition for a final vote of 217-213.

 

The bill now heads to the Senate, where it will need the support of at least seven Democrats to clear the 60-vote filibuster threshold. If passed, the legislation would remove the immediate risk of a shutdown until at least September.
