The House passed a bipartisan spending bill after reaching a deal with the White House to avert a government shutdown at the end of the month, keeping the federal government open until December. The resolution now heads to the Senate.
The legislation boosts funding for nutrition benefits to families, aid to farmers, and funds various parts of the federal government.
The resolution now heads to the Senate, but unclear when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., will bring it to the floor. McConnell told reporters on Tuesday that he worked with Pelosi to replenish the Commodity Credit Corporation for aid to go directly to farmers.
