On Thursday, President Joe Biden signed the stopgap funding bill that will provide funding for the government through December 3rd.

The Senate passed the bill by a vote of 65-35  and the House approved the bill by a 254-175 vote before it was sent to President Joe Biden for his signature. Hours later, President Biden signed H.R. 5305 into law and avoided a government shutdown, which would have taken effect on Friday.

Along with preventing a government shutdown, the bill also provides funds to states to recover from natural disasters and resettle Afghan refugees. The bill did not raise the debt ceiling, which the Treasury Department projects will be hit on October 18th.
