A government shutdown has officially been averted, as President Donald Trump signs the continuing resolution into law.

President Trump signed a funding bill that keeps the government open through September, averting a shutdown after a drama-filled week on Capitol Hill.

WASHINGTON - A partial government shutdown was avoided Friday when the Senate approved a bill to keep the government funded through the end of September. Senators sent the bill to President Donald Trump’s desk for approval in a 54-46 vote.

The U.S. Senate on Friday looked set to advance a bill that would prevent a partial government shutdown, after a sufficient number of minority Democrats joined with the majority Republicans in support.

The advance vote: The Senate voted 62-38 to end debate on the bill – a cloture vote – and advance it to a final vote. Nine Democrats and one independent, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., voted in favor of cloture. That vote allowed the bill to pass with a simple majority in the final vote.

The Senate minority leader finds himself sharply at odds with many members of his caucus, fellow Democrats in the House and liberal activists.
