The House passed a short-term spending extension, delaying the next shutdown threat to March. Republicans surrendered leverage on enacting a border security package.
The continuing resolution (CR) passed 314-108, extending spending levels set by Pelosi and Schumer.
Speaker Johnson faced pushback from conservatives to attach border security measures but opted to advance the CR as passed by the Senate.
