Next, the bill must be passed by the lower house of the US Congress, and for this, the Republican Speaker Mike Johnson has to ask for the support of the Democrats.

The US Senate on Thursday, January 18, passed a bill to cut spending to avoid a shutdown. The vote comes just 24 hours before funding for several government agencies is set to dry up, The New York Times reports.

77 senators voted “for”, while 18 voted “against”.

The bill must now be approved by the House of Representatives before being signed into law by President Joe Biden.

House leaders had earlier announced they would vote on the funding extension on the evening of January 18 (US time) as lawmakers rushed out of Washington ahead of a forecast snowstorm that they feared could ground flights and They ground in the capital for the weekend.

It is noted that for the Speaker of the House, Republican Mike Johnson, this vote will be a test of whether he will retain the support of his fellow party members – they, especially the representatives of the far right wing, have previously criticized the insufficient that budget cuts.

Because the bill needs to be passed quickly and without debate, the speaker of the lower house of Congress must get two-thirds support, which is impossible without the support of Democratic Party representatives.

Let’s remember that the previous agreement to avoid the shutdown was announced on January 7.

Budget negotiations are being conducted separately from consideration of the White House’s multibillion-dollar requests for aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. But development in this area is expected in the near future.
