Biden Signs Short-Term Government Funding Bill to Prevent Shutdown as Congress Turns to Debt Ceiling, Social Spending Bill
President Joe Biden signed a short-term government funding bill into law, preventing a shutdown.
The measure will keep the government running through Feb. 18.
The legislation buys Democrats time as they try to raise or suspend the U.S. debt ceiling before Dec. 15 and pass their $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Act by the end of the year.
