US Senate Passes Budget Bill, Averts Government Shutdown

The US Senate approved a budget deal early Saturday morning to prevent a government shutdown, with a vote of 85-11. The agreement comes after the House of Representatives also passed the legislation. President Joe Biden is set to sign the bill, which notably excludes a debt-limit provision demanded by President-elect Donald Trump. The bill secures funding for federal operations and includes disaster relief funds, but it omits several earlier demands from both parties. The last government shutdown occurred in 2019 during Trump’s presidency.
