House Passes Cromnibus

By

An aide to House whip Steve Scalise (R., La.) says that the proposed government funding measure gained Republican support throughout the day today, ahead of the federal government’s running out of funding authorization tonight.

Ultimately, 219 House members voted in favor of the bill and 206 opposed. The House is expected to pass a very short-term continuing resolution to give the Senate time to pass the bill without going through a government shutdown of any duration.
