House passes short-term funding bill to avoid a shutdown before the election

The House passed a short-term government funding bill with a 370-48 vote, following previous approval from the Senate. This continuing resolution, which funds the government until Dec. 11, now awaits President Donald Trump's signature to prevent a shutdown before the election. Additionally, the measure delays a looming crackdown on the intoxicating hemp industry, granting the sector more time to challenge the ban. The bill saw support from 19 Republicans and 29 Democrats during the House vote.
