Fox News - Breaking: House passes spending bill before shutdown deadline
The House of Representatives is in the process of voting on a bill designed to prevent a government shutdown. The vote is still open, but it appears the bill will pass with more than 300 votes, surpassing the required two-thirds majority. Most opposition comes from the Republican side, but the overwhelming support suggests the bill will succeed. The next step is for the Senate to process the bill, which is expected to happen quickly, possibly before midnight, to avoid a shutdown. The bipartisan support in the House, with 315 votes already in favor, indicates strong backing for the measure, making a government shutdown unlikely.
