WASHINGTON, D.C. — The House of Representatives advanced its last four spending bills on Thursday morning. This move is comes about a week before the January 30 deadline to avoid another government shutdown.
The action taken today sets up a pair of votes scheduled for this afternoon. The approval this morning was strictly along party lines with Republicans supporting the proposals.
If the House successfully votes to pass all the bills, they will then face a more challenging battle in the Senate, where 60 votes are required for approval.
The outcome of these votes is crucial in determining whether the government can avert a shutdown and keep functioning smoothly.
