Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday succeeded in a high-stakes House vote to pass President Donald Trump’s plan to fund the government into the fall, overcoming far-right opposition as the GOP scrambles to avert a government shutdown Friday at midnight.

Approval of the bill sent it to the Senate, where Republicans need the cooperation of several Democrats to move it past a filibuster and to passage before a midnight deadline on Friday.

The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives set up a Tuesday vote on legislation that would keep the government funded and avert a partial shutdown, as Washington is rocked by President Donald Trump's rapid moves to slash federal agencies.
