If approved, the bill will then be sent to President Biden&#8217;s desk for his signature. If the bill does not pass the Senate, there\u2062 could be a potential government shutdown \u2063if another\u200c funding agreement is not reached.<\/p>\n<p>The stopgap funding bill has become necessary as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/most-of-bidens-1-9-trillion-coronavirus-relief-bill-has-nothing-to-do-with-public-health\/\" title=\"Most Of Biden\u2019s .9 Trillion Coronavirus Relief Bill Has Nothing To Do With Public Health\">current fiscal year<\/a> is set to end on September 30th. Without a new funding agreement in place, the government would\u2064 run out of money\u2063 and non-essential services would shut down. This could have serious implications for federal workers and the functioning of various government agencies.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key points of contention in the\u2064 bill is the lack of funding for Ukraine. The\u200d inclusion of Ukraine funding in previous Senate versions of\u2064 continuing resolutions was seen as a way \u2063to show support for the country in the face of Russian aggression. However, it appears that this \u2062provision did\u200d not \u200bmake it into the final version of the bill \u200bpassed by the House.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to exclude Ukraine funding \u200chas drawn criticism from some Republican representatives.\u200c They argue that it is important\u200d for the United States to \u200dstand with Ukraine and provide assistance in their efforts to counter \u200dRussian aggression. The fact that some Republican representatives voted against the resolution reflects the divisions within \u2064the party over foreign policy and spending priorities.<\/p>\n<p>The passage of the stopgap funding bill in the House is a positive development as it ensures that the government will continue to function for the next 45 \u200bdays. However, the bill still needs to be approved by the Senate and signed by President Biden in order \u2063to become law. It remains to be seen whether the Senate will approve the bill and whether any changes will \u200cbe made to\u200b the\u2063 current provisions.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the passage of the stopgap funding bill in the House is an important\u2064 step in preventing a\u200c government shutdown. However, the bill still needs\u200c to be approved by the Senate and signed by President Biden.\u2062 The exclusion of Ukraine funding in the bill has drawn criticism from some Republican representatives. The coming\u2062 days will provide more clarity on the fate\u2064 of the bill\u2062 and whether any changes will be made before it becomes law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House passed a bill to prevent a government shutdown on Saturday.
