The U.S. House of Representatives passed a stopgap spending bill on Friday, narrowly avoiding a government shutdown. The bill funds the government at current levels until mid-March, giving lawmakers more time to negotiate long-term spending plans. The vote followed last-minute opposition from President-elect Donald Trump, who demanded changes to the debt ceiling and spending terms. After failed attempts to pass an earlier version, Republican and Democratic leaders reached an agreement just hours before the deadline.
