President Joe Biden has signed the bill which will fund the government until November 17.
The threat of a US federal government shutdown was lifted hours before Saturday’s midnight deadline as President Joe Biden signed a temporary funding bill to keep agencies open after Congress rushed to approve the bipartisan deal.
The resolution followed a sudden turn of events in Congress after the House pushed the government to the brink of a disruptive federal shutdown.Congress will need to fund the government in coming weeks with views hardening, particularly among the right-flank lawmakers whose demands were swept aside this time in favour of a more bipartisan approach.
If no deal was in place before Sunday, federal workers would have faced furloughs, more than two million active-duty and reserve military troops would have had to work without pay and services that Americans rely on would have faced shutdown disruptions.
