The House has passed legislation to avert a partial government shutdown and fund federal agencies through September. In the Senate, the bill will need support from at least eight Democrats to get it to President Donald Trump’s desk.

It’s one of the biggest legislative tests so far of the Republican president’s second term. In moving the bill ahead despite the lack of buy-in from Democrats, House Speaker Mike Johnson is essentially daring them to oppose it and risk a shutdown that would begin Saturday if lawmakers fail to act.
