Congressional leaders have struck a bi-partisan deal for a stop-gap spending bill that will fund the federal government through to the first few months of 2025.
The last-minute legislation, unveiled on Tuesday night in Capitol Hill, includes $100 billion in disaster relief – including aid for communities damaged by hurricanes Milton and Helene – $10 billion in economic assistance for farmers as well as provisions focused on renewing expiring health care programs and restricting U.S. investments in China.
