WASHINGTON - The U.S. House of Representatives approved a stopgap government funding bill on Thursday that would avoid a government shutdown by maintaining current spending levels through Nov. 21.
Opposing the measure were 119 Republicans, or about 60 percent of the party’s House caucus, plus three Democrats and one independent. “We’ve proven that we can do it,” House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy said of the looming budget challenge. “I think we can get this done.” The government shut down for more than a month in December and January, after Trump initially refused to sign a spending bill without funding for the border wall.
