The US Senate unanimously passed a one-week stopgap spending bill today, assuring there is no embarrassing government shutdown on the 100th day of Donald Trump's presidency.
After weeks of tense negotiations over federal spending, the measure sailed through Congress just hours before a midnight deadline, giving lawmakers one week to finalize a broader bill that funds government through September.
Trump is expected to sign the short-term measure tonight in order to avoid a shutdown.
