The US Senate overwhelmingly approved a temporary funding measure (continuing resolution or CR) to avert a government shutdown, delaying a partisan clash over federal spending until the new year and leaving out emergency aid to allies Ukraine and Israel.
The 87-11 vote late on Nov. 15 sends the measure, already passed by the House, to President Joe Biden. He is expected to sign it before the shutdown deadline late Friday night. (Bloomberg 11/15/23) US Senate Votes to Avert Shutdown, Leaves Out Israel-Ukraine Aid (yahoo.com)
