The US government avoided a disastrous shut down Saturday, after Congress passed a last-minute, short-term funding bill and President Joe Biden signed it just before midnight, according to reports.
The Senate approved the stopgap funding measure, known as a continuing resolution, or CR, by a final vote of 88-9, hours after the House passed it 335-91, with votes from both sides of the isle. Biden finally signed it with just minutes to go before many government operations would have shut down.
