(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) – The House of Representatives passed a $1.7 trillion omnibus bill that will fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year.
The spending bill cleared the lower chamber in a 226-201 vote on Friday, with just nine Republicans joining Democrats to back the legislation, with one Democrat voting present. It will now head to President Joe Biden's desk to be signed into law.
