Congress averts shutdown after House GOP drops Trump’s debt limit demand
'...CNN — Congress voted to avert a shutdown early Saturday morning after House GOP leaders dropped a demand from Donald Trump over the debt limit...The House voted Friday evening and the Senate voted shortly after midnight to pass a bill that extends government funding into March and provides disaster relief and farm aid, but does not include a suspension of the debt limit, which Trump had called on Republicans to address. President Joe Biden must still sign the stopgap bill into law. ...Democrats balked at the plan, arguing that the GOP effort to suspend the debt limit would help Trump pass his tax plan.'
