88-9 参議院剛也通過這項臨時支出法案讓政府能運作到11/17

反對票都是共和黨籍參議員投出

The nine Republican senators who voted against the stopgap funding bill are:

Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn
Indiana Sen. Mike Braun
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz
Tennessee Sen. Bill Hagerty
Utah Sen. Mike Lee
Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul
Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt
Ohio Sen. JD Vance

拜登隨即發表談話，他讚揚兩黨今晚為保持政府開放並資助到11月所做的努力

但他說，眾議院共和黨人在最後一刻製造危機的爭吵，本來是幾個月前可以避免

“今晚，眾議院和參議院的兩黨多數投票決定保持政府的開放，以防止不必要的危機，以免給數百萬勤奮的美國人帶來不必要的痛苦”

“我們一開始就不應該處於這種地位。 就在幾個月前，議長麥卡錫和我達成了一項預算協議，以避免正是這種人造危機”

拜登再重申了他對烏克蘭的支持，敦促國會透過單獨的資金，在對俄羅斯的戰爭中向烏克蘭提供援助。

“雖然議長和國會絕大多數成員一直堅定不移地支持烏克蘭，但該協議中沒有新的資金來繼續這種支援，在任何情況下我們都不能允許美國對烏克蘭的支援被打斷”

週六早些時候，一位白宮官員表示，拜登目前正在待命，一旦短期政府資金法案到達他的辦公桌，就立即簽署

President Joe Biden praised bipartisan efforts to keep the government open tonight and funded through November but added that the last-minute scramble by House Republicans was a “manufactured crisis” that could have been avoided months ago.

“Tonight, bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate voted to keep the government open, preventing an unnecessary crisis that would have inflicted needless pain on millions of hardworking Americans,” the president said in a statement Saturday night, marking the passage of the stopgap bill.

Biden went on to slam House Republicans for a “manufactured crisis” saying, “We should never have been in this position in the first place. Just a few months ago, Speaker McCarthy and I reached a budget agreement to avoid precisely this type of manufactured crisis.”

Biden did reiterate his support for Ukraine, urging Congress to pass separate funding for assistance to Ukraine in the war against Russia.

“While the Speaker and the overwhelming majority of Congress have been steadfast in their support for Ukraine, there is no new funding in this agreement to continue that support. We cannot under any circumstances allow American support for Ukraine to be interrupted,” he said.

The stopgap bill will fund the government through November 17.

Earlier Saturday, a White House official said Biden is on standby right now to sign the short-term government funding bill as soon as it reaches his desk.
