House Republicans successfully passed the continuing resolution to fund the government just days before a looming shutdown, largely thanks to President Donald Trump and one surprising Democratic vote.

The House passed the CR, which freezes funding levels until Sept. 30, 217-213. All Republicans except Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) voted in favor of the spending bill, which raises defense spending by about $8 billion and lowers nondefense spending by about $13 billion.
