House to vote on short-term budget to fund government through December
Summary: The House will vote on a revised short-term budget bill on Wednesday to fund the government through mid-December. This version excludes a Republican proposal on immigration and election security to gain Democratic support.
House Speaker Mike Johnson is now depending on Democratic votes to achieve the necessary two-thirds majority. The deadline for passing long-term funding bills has been pushed to after the general election.
The budget includes $231 million for the Secret Service, following recent threats against former President Trump. Lawmakers also approved a bill to extend protection to major presidential candidates, awaiting President Biden's signature.
