The House of Representatives voted to keep the government afloat until mid-March on Friday evening after GOP infighting brought the country within hours of a lapse in federal funding.
The bill passed with the support of nearly all Democrats in the House and 170 Republicans. The 34 votes against the proposal all came from the GOP caucus. Those naysayers were holding a line from earlier in the week when they voted down representatives who voted down two prior measures. The bill will still have to pass the Senate to avoid a shutdown.
