The first attempt to pass a continuing resolution that would fund the government through March 2025 failed after it was revealed the bill was filled with Democrat pet projects like censorship programs and biolabs. President Trump and Elon Musk both exerted their own pressure to assure the bill would not pass.
A clean CR bill without DNC carve-outs and debt ceiling extensions passed the House, with Elon Musk saying of the passage of the clean CR, “The Speaker did a good job here, given the circumstances. It went from a bill that weighed pounds to a bill that weighed ounces. Ball should now be in the Dem court.”

Excerpt:
After a tumultuous 48 hours and change, the House has voted in favor of a continuing resolution that funds the government until March.
The continuing resolution passed under suspension of the rules, which requires a two-thirds majority of the lower chamber. With the Senate’s approval and President Joe Biden’s signature, the government shutdown scheduled to kick in at Friday’s end will be averted.
