美国参议院以90票赞成、6票反对的结果通过了一项政府拨款法案，将政府资金水平维持至12月11日，从而将政府关闭的风险推迟到中期选举之后 [1]。若未能获得新的拨款授权，政府原本将在9月30日后面临关闭 [1]。
参议院版本在关键问题上作出调整，阻止了白宫管理和预算办公室新规则的实施至12月11日，同时关闭了众议院早前批准版本中的一个"漏洞"——该漏洞曾允许白宫挪用资金给边境巡逻队 [1]。民主党少数党领袖查克·舒默表示这项拨款"给了我们必要的喘息空间" [1]。该法案现需众议院批准才能生效，众议院目前已休会至月底 [1]。
The U.S. Senate approved a government funding bill by a vote of 90-6, extending federal spending at current levels through December 11 and ensuring continued operations beyond the November 3 midterm elections [1]. The legislation must still receive approval from the House of Representatives to prevent a government shutdown that would otherwise occur after September 30 [1].
The Senate version of the bill extends the funding deadline by one week compared to an earlier House-passed version, which had authorized spending only through December 4 [1]. Senate Democrats supported the extended timeline, with Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer stating the measure "gave us the necessary breathing room" [1]. The Senate bill also blocks the implementation of new rules from the White House Office of Management and Budget until December 11 and closes a provision in the House version that would have permitted the White House to redirect funds to border patrol operations [1]. The House is currently in recess through the end of the month, leaving approval of the Senate measure pending [1].
