Odaily Planet Daily News: The U.S. House of Representatives passed a temporary spending bill aimed at avoiding a federal government shutdown crisis on October 1, but this also forced the Senate to engage in a fierce battle over the bill later on Friday - Democrats are expected to veto the bill on the grounds that "health care spending needs to be increased." House Speaker Johnson overcame the dissatisfaction of some Republican colleagues and pushed the bill through with 217 votes in favor and 212 votes against. House Democrats almost unanimously voted against the bill. The Senate plans to review the bill submitted by the House of Representatives and the "another version of the temporary spending bill" proposed by Democratic leader Schumer (the bill plans to provide funding for the government until October 31) at the same time later on Friday. Both versions of the bill are expected to be rejected, which means that less than two weeks before the October 1 deadline, the U.S. government will be deadlocked in a shutdown crisis. (Jinshi)
