The House of Representatives voted 370 to 48 on Tuesday in favor of a short-term funding bill that halts a controversial White House initiative aimed at increasing political appointees' influence over federal research grants.
This legislation, which had previously passed in the Senate, is set to fund the government until December 11, allowing time for the midterm elections to unfold without a shutdown.
