The Senate passed a two-day stopgap bill that will fund the government through the weekend, narrowly averting a government shutdown and giving lawmakers two extra days to reach a compromise on a coronavirus relief bill.
The bill was passed by unanimous consent Friday after partisan disagreements threatened to upend the progress that congressional leadership had touted throughout the week. Lawmakers had sought to tie a funding bill to a coronavirus stimulus package but were unable to reach an agreement after multiple objections over different provisions.
