WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Joe Biden on Friday signed a short-term spending bill that keeps the federal government operating until early March.
Congress, ahead of the winter snowstorm that struck Washington, D.C., on Friday, passed the short-term bill with large bipartisan majorities on Thursday. The vote was 77-18 in the Senate and 314-108 in the House.
