WASHINGTON, DC - OCTOBER 20: Members of the House of Representatives vote for the third time on whether to elevate House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) to Speaker of the House in the U.S. Capitol on October 20, 2023 in Washington, DC. After falling short in two consecutive votes for Speaker, Jordan vowed he would continue to try and lead the House, which has been without an elected leader since Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted from the speakership on October 4. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) — The House of Representatives on October 20, 2023 in Washington, DC.

The House of Representatives has voted to pass a stopgap funding bill in its latest bid to avoid a government shutdown.

On Friday, the bill passed in the House in a 366-to-34 vote.

The bill will extend government funding into March.

It’ll send more than $100 million in relief to farmers and natural disaster victims, like those negatively affected by Hurricane Helene, which transpired in September.

However, the bill does not include a suspension of the debt limit, which President-elect Donald Trump has been advocating for.

The bill will now go to the Senate.
