House Democrats Tuesday night passed a bill to fund the government through early December and to suspend the debt ceiling until late 2022, sending the legislation aimed at avoiding a shutdown and debt default to the Senate where Republicans have vowed to kill it.
The bill, unveiled Tuesday morning, passed on a 220-211 party-line vote after a full day of markups, debate and internal conflict among Democrats. It includes nearly $29 billion for natural disaster relief and over $6 billion for the resettlement of Afghan refugees, and would fund the government through Dec. 3, giving lawmakers more time to compromise on a broader funding package for the 2022 fiscal year.
