Lawmakers pass another stopgap bill to halt shutdown

The House has voted 320-60 to pass another stopgap continuing resolution to keep the federal government funded through the weekend.

The Senate is also expected to pass the new CR, which is set to expire Sunday at midnight.

The CR will give lawmakers additional time to negotiate a final omnibus spending bill for fiscal year 2021, along with a COVID-19 stimulus package expected to be around $900 billion.
