House passes massive spending deal, teeing up Senate vote
12/21/20 09:15 PM EST
The package now heads to the Senate, which is expected to pass the measure late Monday night but faces a short window to do so, with just hours remaining before a scheduled government shutdown at midnight.
As a safety hatch, the House adopted a seven-day extension of government funding Monday evening, which the Senate could take up as a stand-alone bill if senators are unable to meet the midnight deadline on the larger package.
The White House has indicated that President Trump will sign the legislation into law when it reaches his desk.
