H.R. 6119 is a continuing resolution (CR), a spending bill that would keep government funding levels the same, although it grants $7 billion in funding for the resettlement of Afghan refugees.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>The vote on the CR follows as the Senate shot down an amendment proposed by Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Roger Marshall (R-KS) that would have defunded President Joe Biden\u2019s vaccine mandates. The amendment failed after Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) voted against it, although Manchin had teased this afternoon that he may vote for the amendment.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been very supportive of a mandate for federal government, for military\u2026 I\u2019ve been less enthused about it in the private sector,\u201d the West Virginia Democrat said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18881858\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"44\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18881858\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/congress-budget-sen-joe-manchin-wva-talks-reporters-he-leaves-chamber-vote-at-capitol-washing.jpg\" alt=\"The Associated Press\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1407\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sen.

Democrats wanted a spending bill to fund the government through January.<\/p>\n<p>The House earlier&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/12\/02\/house-passes-stop-gap-bill-funding-government-through-february\/\">passed<\/a> the legislation on mostly party lines; Democrats overwhelmingly voted for the bill, and only one Republican, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), voted for the bill.<\/p>\n<p>The CR goes to Biden\u2019s desk to sign, averting a government shutdown one day ahead of the December 3 deadline. Now, Congress will have to pass a bill to raise the debt ceiling and pass the National Defense Authorization Act.<\/p>\n<p><i>Sean Moran is a congressional reporter for Breitbart News.
