The Capitol building in Washington.
That’s how many House members voted yesterday for a bill to finance the federal government through Sept. 30.
The Republican-drafted bill, which drew backing from 214 of 228 voting Republicans and 53 of 190 voting Democrats, would keep the government running after March 27, when current funding authority expires.
The measure also would retain $85 billion in automatic spending cuts that began March 1.
Bloomberg’s Roxana Tiron and James Rowley have more here.
