Congress averted a government shutdown Friday just hours before the funding deadline, after the Senate approved a House-passed spending bill that exposed deep rifts within the Democratic Party.

The bill, which would allow the city to continue operating under its 2025 budget, still needs to be approved by the House to go into effect.

The Senate gave final approval to a stopgap spending bill to fund the government through Sept. 30. The GOP-backed measure cleared a key hurdle with help from 10 Democratic senators.
