Rushing to get out of town and back on the campaign trail, the House and Senate passed a stopgap spending bill on Wednesday, sending lawmakers home and the legislation to President Joe Biden’s desk.
The House passed the continuing resolution in a 341-82 vote, with 132 Republicans and 209 Democrats voting for the bill, and 82 Republicans voting no.
