The House on Thursday passed a $1.1 trillion package to fund the government, despite significant opposition from lawmakers in both parties that nearly derailed the measure.
The vote was 219 to 206 and came hours before a midnight deadline. It now moves to the Senate for consideration. The House also voted to pass a two-day extension of funding to give the Senate time to debate and vote on the larger package.
