"President Biden's Statement on Bipartisan Bill Passage to Avert Government Shutdown"

President Joe Biden praises the bipartisan passage of a bill to keep the government open, preventing a crisis that would have affected millions of Americans. The bill ensures continued payment for active-duty troops, avoids airport delays, and maintains vital nutrition assistance for women and children. However, Biden emphasizes that this situation should never have occurred, as a budget agreement was previously reached to avoid such crises. He also expresses concern about the lack of new funding for Ukraine support and expects Speaker McCarthy to fulfill his commitment to securing the necessary assistance for Ukraine.
