Notably, the bill does not include aid for Ukraine, which Democrats, the White House, and some Republicans had advocated strongly for.
After a meeting with his conference, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced that the House would put the stopgap bill on the floor.
But McCarthy positioned the move as one that would enable House Republicans to continue their work on border security going forward, while keeping the government open.
Some Democrats delivered strong rebukes of the bill for lacking aid to Ukraine ahead of the vote Saturday.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, the lead appropriator for House Democrats, suggested the move was a “shameful” defiance of the American value of freedom.
