Biden Signs Temporary Spending Bill to Avoid a Government Shutdown
------------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden signed a three-month spending bill Thursday, keeping the
government funded through December 20, after Congress passed the bill on
Wednesday. House Democrats backed the bill after Speaker Mike Johnson
withdrew a GOP- and Trump-backed measure that would require proof of
citizenship when registering to vote.
