US House Approves Stopgap Budget to Avert Government Shutdown
In a last-minute effort to prevent a government shutdown, Republicans and Democrats in the US House of Representatives agreed on a compromise for a stopgap budget. This transitional funding must still pass the Senate to be enacted. President Joe Biden indicated his support for the plan, which removes controversial elements criticized by former President Donald Trump and advisor Elon Musk. However, Trump’s call for a debt ceiling overhaul remains unaddressed, raising concerns about potential future conflicts over fiscal policies.
