"House Set to Pass $460 Billion Spending Bill to Avert Government Shutdown"

The House of Representatives is set to vote on a $460 billion government funding package encompassing six bills to avert a shutdown ahead of Friday's deadline. The legislation addresses funding for various departments and agencies, with the remaining bills tied to Congress expiring in March. GOP hardliners have caused division within the House, leading to a bypass of traditional mechanisms for bill passage. The decision guarantees that Democratic support will be necessary for passage, with frustration and criticism arising from members of every faction within the House GOP. If passed, the bill will proceed to the Senate and require President Biden's signature to prevent a partial shutdown.
