House Passes Stopgap Funding Bill Amid Ongoing Tensions

The House of Representatives has passed a stopgap funding bill to prevent a government shutdown at the end of the month, with a narrow vote of 217-212. This vote underscores the partisan tensions between Republicans and Democrats, particularly over health care subsidies, which could threaten government operations if not resolved. The bill funds agencies until November 21, but the ongoing disputes highlight the fragility of bipartisan cooperation in Congress.
