The U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass a $1.7 trillion spending bill on Friday, funding the government until the end of next September in a win for President Biden.
"We have a big bill here because we had big needs for our country," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. Haris Alic is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering Congress.
House lawmakers rushed the bill out the door as harsh winter weather threatened to delay their flights back home. After discussing the rule that set the terms of debate on the bill for a full hour, House members gave just a cursory, shortened debate on the bill itself before voting began.
