US House approves interim budget, excludes aid for Israel and Ukraine

The House of Representatives passed a stopgap bill to keep the government open, putting Congress on a path to avert a shutdown and setting the stage for a broader funding fight in the new year, Report informs, citing CNN.

The stopgap bill passed the House on a bipartisan basis with a vote of 336 to 95 with 209 of the votes coming from Democrats — a warning sign for newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson.

The bill was opposed by 93 Republicans and two Democrats.

The proposal does not include additional aid for Israel or Ukraine.
