On Saturday, August 8, the U.S. Senate passed a stopgap funding measure to keep federal agencies funded through December 11, aiming to head off a government shutdown in the weeks before the November midterm elections. Fox News reports the vote was 90-6 in favor, with Sen. Darlene Graham (R-SC) abstaining. The measure does not fully eliminate the risk of a shutdown — October 1, the start of the new fiscal year, remains a key date — and the House, currently in recess, still needs to reach an agreement on the bill once it returns.
BlockBeats News, August 8: The U.S. Senate passed a stopgap funding measure on Saturday to keep federal agencies funded through December 11, a move aimed at avoiding a catastrophic government shutdown in the weeks before the November midterm elections.
The vote was 90-6, according to Fox News. Senator Darlene Graham (R-SC) abstained.
The measure does not by itself eliminate the possibility of a shutdown, but it helps prevent one on October 1, when the government's new fiscal year begins. The House, currently in recess, still needs to reach an agreement on the bill when it returns.
