Congress approved a stopgap spending bill to keep the government open into early 2024 while budget negotiations continue.

The continuing resolution (H.R.6363) will fund 20% of appropriations bills (including agriculture) through January 19, 2024, and the additional 80% of appropriations bills through February 2, 2024. Until then, the government will not shut down, and federal agencies will continue to run as usual.
