President Joe Biden signed funding legislation to keep the US government operating until mid-March, avoiding a year-end shutdown and kicking future spending decisions into Donald Trump’s presidency.
The legislation went to Biden early Saturday morning after the Senate voted 85 to 11 to approve the measure, which sailed through the House hours earlier.
