House passes funding bill to prevent government shutdown until December 20

The House of Representatives passed a bill to fund the government until December 20, avoiding a shutdown at the end of the month. The vote was 341-82, with significant bipartisan support, including 209 Democrats. The bill maintains current funding levels and adds $231 million for the Secret Service to protect presidential candidates. It does not include the controversial SAVE Act, which would have required proof of citizenship to vote. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer stated the Senate would quickly move to pass the bill. The White House urged swift passage to prevent a government shutdown and ensure continued government services.
