The House voted 220-205 to pass a stopgap measure funding federal agencies at current levels through Dec. 4, narrowly averting a shutdown before the fiscal year ends Sept. 30 — but with Democrats opposed, a broader spending battle still looms.

[TS] A 15-vote margin means this barely cleared. The real fight is still ahead.

A stacked bar of the House vote on the stopgap spending bill: 220 votes yes and 205 votes no, out of 425 cast, marked with the 218 votes that make a majority of the full 435-seat House.
