Live coverage: House passes funding plan to avoid government shutdown

Recorded earlier

The House voted to support a measure to keep the government funded past Friday night's midnight shutdown deadline.

The Senate is expected to vote on the plan later Friday evening.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Friday afternoon that the House would vote on a modified version of the bill that was defeated Thursday — minus the debt ceiling provision pushed by President-elect Trump.

Democrats and a few dozen Republicans on Thursday rejected the bill that paired a three-month government funding extension, $110 billion in disaster and farm aid and other measures with a two-year extension of the debt limit.

Senate Republicans were left fuming over what they called the dysfunctional “s‑‑‑ show” and “fiasco” they witnessed in the House, as two proposals to fund the government through Christmas failed this week.

“I guess it’s back to the drawing board,” incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) told The Hill as he exited the Capitol.

We'll be tracking developments here all day.
