Biden approves a $1.2 trillion financing package to avoid a government shutdown. Biden considered that the financing law he approved keeps the government running and strengthens the economy and national security.
Congress approved the draft budget after a vote in the Senate, and in theory the deadline for the shutdown ended at midnight local time, but in practice government operations did not stop. The last time there was a partial federal government shutdown was during Donald Trump's presidency, from December 22, 2018, to January 25, 2019.
