BREAKING: House Passes $1.2 Trillion Bill to Avert Shutdown with More Votes From Democrats Than Republicans
The House of Representatives on Friday voted to avert a government shutdown with more votes from Democrats than Republicans.
The vote – 286 to 134 – with 185 Democrats and 101 Republicans voting ‘yay.’
The bill will head to the Democrat-controlled Senate as a midnight deadline looms.
The $1.2 trillion ‘minibus’ bill spanned over 1,000 pages and was made public early Thursday morning while Americans were asleep.
The passage of the ‘minibus’ follows the House’s passage of a $460 billion package earlier this month, aimed at funding key federal agencies through the end of the budget year.
At 2:32 am—when Americans were sleeping—the Swamp released its second half of the omnibus.
