Senate passes funding bill to prevent shutdown through US midterms

The US Senate passed a government funding bill via a 90-6 vote to prevent a shutdown through the midterm elections. This continuing resolution maintains current funding levels until 11 December. While the bill still requires approval from the House of Representatives, it ensures government operations continue past the midterms. Democrats aim to regain control of Congress during these elections to potentially block the legislative agenda of Donald Trump for his presidency's final two years.
