The Biden administration announced support for a short-term government funding proposal, lowering the risk of a partial shutdown ahead of the November 5th presidential election. The White House praised the bill for allowing Congress time to address full-year funding bills, benefiting national defense, veterans, seniors, and disaster recovery efforts. The proposal, introduced by House Speaker Mike Johnson, would fund the government until December 20th. It excludes the SAVE Act, a voter ID bill supported by some Republicans, including former President Trump.
