The House overwhelmingly passed its latest temporary spending measure to avoid a scheduled government shutdown over the weekend, extending the deadlines for all 12 must-pass appropriations bills into March. 

Lawmakers voted 320-99 on the continuing resolution, surpassing the two-thirds majority needed to change the spending deadlines in order to buy more time to finalize legislative text and pass the budget for the 2024 fiscal year. The two Democrats who voted “no” with 97 Republicans were Reps. Mike Quigley of Illinois and Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts.
