The House of Representatives passed a stopgap spending bill on Friday amid concerns over a possible government shutdown.

The GOP-led bill is a short-term government spending package designed to prevent a shutdown at the end of the month. The bill will go to the Senate, where Democrats have pledged to sink it, The Hill news outlet reported.

The vote on Friday was 217-212, with two Republicans opposing it over high deficit spending levels, and one Democrat supporting it.

The Senate is scheduled to vote on the House GOP-passed stopgap and a competing measure crafted by Senate Democrats on Friday afternoon. Both are expected to fail, and both chambers are vowing to leave Washington for a weeklong holiday break, leaving little time to reach a resolution to prevent a shutdown on Oct. 1.

The bill also includes millions of dollars to boost security for federal officials, as concerns have swirled in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. It meets the Trump administration’s request for an additional $58 million for security for public officials — $30 million for the executive branch, and $28 million for the Supreme Court — plus a $30 million boost for members of Congress in an account to reimburse local law enforcement.
