House Passes Stopgap Funding Bill to Avert Shutdown; Senate Vote & Biden’s Approval Next

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions. #GovernmentShutdown #StopgapFunding #HouseVote #DisasterRelief #FarmAid #DebtLimit #SenateApproval #PresidentBiden #RepublicanLeadership #TrumpOpposition #Oneindia #OneindiaNews Also Read Government Shutdown: What It Means for Federal Employees and Social Security Payments :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-shutdown-impacts-on-federal-employees-011-4021087.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's New Demands Result in Collapse of Bipartisan Government Funding Plan Ahead of Deadline :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-funding-plan-collapses-trump-demands-011-4020029.html?ref=DMDesc US Congress Approves Temporary Funding Bill to Prevent Government Shutdown Until December :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-congress-passes-temporary-funding-bill-avoid-shutdown-011-3945067.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.362~GR.125~

VIDEO | Biden’s Controversial Pardon of Hunter Sparks Uproar; Dodges Questions, Laughs It Off

In a controversial moment during his trip to Angola, President Joe Biden dodged questions from reporters regarding his recent decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden. The pardon, covering Hunter’s actions over the past 11 years, has sparked significant political backlash, particularly from critics who point out the contradiction with Biden’s previous statements. Despite earlier promises not to intervene in Hunter's legal matters, Biden reversed his stance and granted the pardon. As reporters attempted to raise the issue during a meeting with Angolan President João Lourenço, Biden laughed off their questions, turning to the Angolan delegation and quipping, "Welcome to America." His refusal to address the matter has further fueled the controversy, casting a shadow over his final days in office. #BidenPardon #HunterBiden #PoliticalBacklash #BidenLaughsItOff #PresidentialControversy #BidenSonsPardon #WashingtonBacklash #BidenLegacy #HunterBidenPardon #BidenTrip #AngolaVisit #BidenAvoidsQuestions #PresidentialDrama #BidenFamilyDrama #BidenPressConference Also Read Democrats Frustrated as President Biden Pardons Son Hunter, Reversing Previous Stance :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/democrats-frustrated-biden-pardoning-son-hunter-011-4004635.html Joe Biden Pardons Son, Says Charges Politically Motivated: 'Hunter Selectively, Unfairly, Prosecuted' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/joe-biden-pardons-son-hunter-says-charges-politically-motivated-my-son-selectively-unfairly-pro-4003699.html Hunter Biden Withdraws Lawsuit Against Fox News on Explicit Images :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hunter-biden-drops-lawsuit-against-fox-news-011-3885785.html ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.103~GR.124~
