Senate approves funding bill to avoid a shutdown before the election
The Senate approved a short-term funding measure into early December to avoid a government shutdown before the election. While passing the bill, Democrats successfully secured language rejecting money transfers to the Border Patrol and funds for a battleship project. The legislation also includes delaying a national ban on intoxicating hemp products, a decision criticized by some Republicans citing public health concerns.
