(The Center Square) – The U.S. House of Representatives voted Tuesday to pass a short-term funding measure to avert a government shutdown.

Republican Speaker Mike Johnson's two-step plan passed the House on a 336-95 vote after 209 Democrats supported it.

Thirteen Texas Republicans opposed the GOP-led legislation, which would keep the government funded as Congress negotiates federal appropriations. The bill passed after nearly all Democrats came to back it.
