US House of Representatives adopts emergency funding measure avoiding shutdown

On Saturday, the US House of Representatives adopted an emergency funding measure that constitutes an essential stage to avoid paralysis of the federal administration a few hours before the shutdown is due.


The text, which was supported by 335 representatives and opposed by 91, was referred to the Senate. This came after Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy earlier offered a last-ditch attempt to avoid paralysis, which Democrats supported.
