Biden administration supports House GOP's three-month funding bill
Summary: The Biden administration has expressed support for a new three-month government funding bill proposed by House Republicans. This move reduces the likelihood of a partial government shutdown before the upcoming presidential election on November 5.
The bill, introduced by House Speaker Mike Johnson, would fund the government until December 20. It does not include the controversial SAVE Act, which former President Donald Trump urged Republicans to include, threatening a government shutdown otherwise.
The White House criticized the bill for lacking additional funding for disaster relief and other key services. Congress must pass the bill by September 30 to avoid a shutdown.
