A stopgap bill to avoid a federal government shutdown ahead of the holidays overwhelmingly passed the U.S. House on Friday afternoon with bipartisan support from the Hoosier delegation.
One of Indiana’s nine House members voted against it, and one didn’t cast a vote.
The bill would fund the government through mid-March and includes financial aid for disaster relief and farmers. House members on Thursday rejected a similar bill that also included raising the debt ceiling, or the federal debt limit.
The bill still must pass the Senate and be signed by President Joe Biden to avert a shutdown. It wasn’t immediately clear when the Senate will vote.
