Lawmakers have until midnight on Friday to pass a spending bill and avoid a government shutdown. The House passed a bill to temporarily fund the government for six months but Republicans don't have the votes to pass the bill in the Senate.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a temporary funding bill to avert a government shutdown, extending federal funding until November 17, 2023. This bill, which passed with a vote of 335-91, includes $16 billion in disaster relief but omits additional aid for Ukraine, a point of contention among some lawmakers. Despite the House's action, the bill faces significant challenges in the Senate, where there is strong support for Ukraine aid. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has indicated that the Senate will not pass a continuing resolution without Ukraine funding, potentially leading to a government shutdown if an agreement isn't reached. This situation underscores the ongoing political divide and the complexities of budget negotiations in Congress.
