Congress is poised to swiftly approve a temporary spending bill to keep federal agencies funded as the new fiscal year approaches. The stopgap measure, expected to pass on Wednesday, will maintain current funding levels through December 20, with additional funds allocated for specific purposes.
Notably, $231 million will be directed towards bolstering the Secret Service following recent assassination attempts against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The bill also includes provisions to support the presidential transition process and other essential functions.
