US House passes funding proposal without Trump’s demand to raise debt limit

After Trump and Musk scuttled prior bipartisan deal, Republicans denied Trump-backed package

The US House of Representatives passed a funding proposal Friday evening just hours before the US government was due to shut down, with a bill that dropped Donald Trump’s demand for a debt limit increase.

The bill, which passed 366-34, approves government funding for three months and will be sent to the Senate, where it is expected to pass.
