House Speaker Mike Johnson unveiled a spending bill late Tuesday that would avert a government shutdown if it is passed by both the House and Senate before funding runs out on Saturday. The spending plan, known as a continuing resolution, has bipartisan support. It would fund the government through March 14, setting up another spending showdown in the early days of the Trump administration. Republicans will control both the Senate and House come January, but the party will have slim margins in both chambers. The deal contains nearly $100 billion in disaster aid and $10 billion more in banking relief for farmers in rural communities. It would also extend the farm bill by one year, continue allowing more seniors to use telehealth and reform how pharmacy benefit managers, known as PBMs, operate. Here’s what else is in the bill: The deal would provide nearly $100 billion to help Americans trying to recover from multiple natural disasters in 2023 and 2024. The funding is in line with the roughly $100 billion topline request from the Biden administration in November.
