ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, the U.S. Senate has passed a temporary funding bill to avoid a government shutdown, and Biden is expected to sign the bill into law on Saturday.

ChainCatcher previously reported that, citing Fox, Jinshi reported that after Congress failed to pass a temporary spending bill to avoid a government shutdown and send it to President Biden's desk before the deadline, some government agencies shut down. The Senate is currently actively voting on amendments and other deliberations to submit the bill to Biden. This temporary bill is expected to pass in the Senate within the next few hours.

This partial shutdown of government agencies is only a few days away from Christmas and New Year's. However, since the Senate is expected to pass the bill soon, the short shutdown will minimally disrupt government functions.
