US Senate votes to avert government shutdown one day ahead of deadline

Description

The US Senate votes in favor of a stopgap funding bill, in a rare show of cross-party unity to keep federal agencies running into 2022 and avert a costly holiday season government shutdown. With the clock ticking down to the 11:59 pm Friday deadline, the Senate votes by 69 to 28 to keep the lights on until February 18 with a resolution that had already advanced from the House of Representatives.
