A shutdown is set to start on Friday.
The House has passed a bill that funds the government through Feb. 18 and avoids a short-term shutdown after midnight Friday. But quick passage of the measure in the Senate is in doubt because of a fight over President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
Lawmakers have reached agreement on a stopgap spending bill to keep the federal government running through mid-February. But a temporary shutdown is still possible with some Republicans determined to hold out over the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
With only hours to spare, Congress passed legislation that would avoid a partial federal shutdown and keep the government funded through Dec. 3, and sent the bill to President Joe Biden.
In just four days, the federal government is set to shut down unless Congress passes a funding bill, while the U.S. is also facing a potential debt crisis.
On Tuesday, President Trump signed a stopgap spending bill to avoid a government shutdown for at least another week.
