Government shutdown updates: Biden signs stopgap funding measure

August 2024 · 1 minute read

In a bipartisan vote, the House of Representatives passed a 45-day stopgap spending bill –- sending the bill to the Senate with just over 9 hours left before the shutdown deadline.

The vote passed 335-91. Just one House Democrat voted against the bill, while 90 Republicans opposed House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s bipartisan solution. Seven lawmakers missed the vote.

After the vote, the House quickly adjourned until noon on Monday -- so if the Senate fails to approve the House bill, they won’t come back to try something else.

Rep. Matt Gaetz, who has threatened to make a motion to vacate the chair in an effort to oust McCarthy, was attempting to seek recognition on the floor but the chair did not recognize him before gaveling out.
