Van Orden, Tiffany split votes on funding government

Sep. 30—WASHINGTON — Rep. Derrick Van Orden voted Saturday for a temporary federal government funding plan, while Rep. Tom Tiffany voted against the measure.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted 335-91 to approve the short-term, stop-gap measure, just hours ahead of the expected shutdown of the government. The bill will keep the governement open for another 45 days, pay federal workers and military, and fund disaster relief. Hours later, the U.S. Senate approved the House's bill on an 88-9 vote. President Joe Biden signed the measure shortly before the midnight deadline Saturday night.
