The U.S. Senate passed a bill by a vote of 90 to 6, maintaining federal government funding through mid-December.

The U.S. Senate has voted 90 to 6 to maintain federal government spending levels unchanged until the midterm elections. If the House of Representatives passes this Senate bill when it reconvenes next month, the U.S. government will at least avoid a shutdown through mid-December. Potential points of contention include measures taken by the Senate to block the White House from making major reforms to federal appropriations, as well as language restricting additional funding for immigration enforcement. A proposal by Republican Senator Ted Budd of North Carolina to enforce a mandatory marijuana ban failed to pass.
