Republicans in US House approve stopgap spending bill ahead of Oct. 1 deadline

The U.S. House Republicans passed a stopgap spending bill to maintain government operations until the fall, sending it to the Senate for further revisions. This move comes ahead of the Oct. 1 fiscal year deadline, crucial to prevent a government shutdown. With budget negotiations often contentious, this temporary bill buys time for lawmakers to reach a long-term agreement, highlighting ongoing fiscal challenges and political dynamics in Congress.
