- President Joe Biden signed a continuing resolution to keep the government funded through December 3. The bill, which cleared the House by a vote of 254-175 and the Senate by a vote of 65-35, gives lawmakers and the White House nine more weeks to reach agreement on spending levels and negotiate a dozen fiscal 2022 appropriations bills.
