House passes funding bill as Republicans decry Senate colleagues' failure to extract concessions
Fox News
House Democrats passed a government funding bill despite opposition from Republicans who wanted more concessions before agreeing to avert a government shutdown.
"It gives us time to work out a longer-term bill, which we can vote on after the election," said House Rules Committee Chairman Jim McGovern, D-Mass. Haris Alic covers Congress and politics for Fox News Digital. You can contact him at haris.alic@fox.com or follow him on Twitter at @realharisalic.
