The House of Representatives voted 335-91 Saturday afternoon to fund the federal government for 45 days and avert a shutdown.
90 Republicans and one Democrat voted no on the short-term measure to avoid a shutdown.
Rep. Mike Quigley of Illinois was the lone Democrat to vote no on the resolution.
“The funding bill that just passed the House is a victory for Putin and his sympathizers. We now have 45 days to correct this mistake. I had a responsibility to voice my opposition and raise concerns before pro-Russia Republicans try to claim victory in the next funding agreement,” Quigley said.

“The bill does not contain funding for Ukraine that was sought by Democrats but opposed by many Republicans,” CBS News reports.
The resolution does contain spending for disaster relief.
“It was tough, but we got it through,” said House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
