Senate passes short-term funding bill, averting government shutdown
CBSN
The Senate on Thursday night passed a one-week continuing resolution to fund the government, averting a government shutdown.
The short-term funding bill will now fund the government through Dec. 23, giving Congress additional time to finish crafting a massive longer-term spending package.
The bill passed 71-19, and now goes to President Biden's desk for his signature. A similar measure passed the House earlier this week.
