The U.S. government will be funded for another three months, thanks to a bipartisan funding agreement reached on Sunday that avoids a government shutdown.
The agreement maintains funding until Dec. 20, with the House likely to vote on the bill as early as Wednesday.
The development was announced in a press release by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
"Over the past 4 days, bipartisan, bicameral negotiations have been underway to reach an agreement that maintains current funding through December 20 and avoids a government shutdown a month before the election," Schumer's statement reads.
