House to vote on short-term budget to fund government through December

The House will vote Wednesday on a revised short-term budget 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 dropped the controversial measure to secure bipartisan backing. Conservative Republicans still seek to include the SAVE Act, which addresses undocumented voting, despite it being illegal. The budget also allocates $231 million for the Secret Service after recent threats against Trump. Lawmakers have approved a bill to extend presidential protection to major candidates, awaiting President Biden's signature.
