WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a bill to keep the government open, provide financial aid to farmers and ranchers, and extend the Farm Bill for one year.Â
The bill, passed late Friday afternoon, would keep the federal government funded into March.  This was the third version of the bill this week. Advisor Elon Musk and President-elect Trump spiked the first version. The second version that included Musk and Trump’s demands for an expansion of the debt ceiling, failed to get the votes needed to pass.Â
The Continuing Resolution includes $20.78 billion in natural disaster aid for ranchers and farmers in both 2023 and 2024. It also allocates $10 billion in economic aid to farmers to offset the dramatic decline in farm income, high supply costs and low commodity prices. Â It does not include a provision that would have allowed year-round sales of E-15 blended gasoline.
The bill passed 366-34, with the support of 196 Democrats and 170 Republicans 34 Republicans voted against it, and 29 lawmakers did not vote on it.
The Senate voted, 85-11, to pass the measure, and the White House said President Biden would sign it into law on Saturday and that government agencies would not shut down.
