"Tonight the Senate delivers good news for America: there will be no government shutdown right before Christmas," Schumer said. "After a chaotic few days in the House it's good news that the bipartisan approach in the end prevailed. It is a good lesson for next year: both sides have to work together."

Biden has signed legislation that averts a government shutdown, bringing a final close to days of upheaval in Washington after Congress passed a bipartisan budget plan just past the deadline and rejected Trump’s core demand in the negotiations.

President Joe Biden is expected to sign the bill to fund the government through March 14. It does not address the debt ceiling, a key demand from President-elect Donald Trump.
