What’s Inside the Newly Approved Government Funding Bill?

After days of tense discussions on Capitol Hill and last-minute intervention by President-elect Donald Trump and his ally Elon Musk, the House passed a budget plan to avoid a government shutdown Friday night, and the Senate followed suit early Saturday morning.

The 118-page bill comprises the majority of the features included in the bipartisan agreement that was agreed upon on Wednesday before being canceled when Musk blasted Republicans who backed it.

Trump also advocated for the bill to raise the debt ceiling. The federal government is not likely to reach its borrowing limit until sometime in the spring or winter of 2025, and Trump has declared that he wants the issue resolved while Joe Biden is president.

The proposal, which is pending Biden’s signature, would fund the federal government until March 2025. It did not include a measure to increase the debt ceiling.

The agreement does include $100 billion in disaster aid, $30 billion for farmers, and a one-year renewal of the farm bill, which were hotly debated previous to this week’s votes.

Some of the measures in the bill earlier this week were eliminated, including $100 million for pediatric cancer research and a plan to transfer the land that houses RFK Stadium from the federal government to the District of Columbia.
