House passes $1.7 TRILLION omnibus government spending bill.
225 yes votes to 201 votes no and 1 voting “present.” Biden to sign it into law between today and Dec 30th, 2022.
The House voted Friday to pass a massive $1.7 trillion spending bill that would fund critical government operations across federal agencies and provide emergency aid for Ukraine and natural disaster relief.
The bill will next go to President Joe Biden to be signed into law.
Government funding is currently set to expire late Friday evening — and lawmakers raced the clock to clear the measure before the deadline.
The Senate passed the legislation on Thursday along with a bill to extend the deadline by one week, to December 30, to provide enough time for the yearlong bill to be formally processed and sent to Biden.
The House approved the one-week extension on Friday ahead of the final vote on the broader spending bill.
