Congress faces a deadline to fund the government by the end of the day Friday. With the House passage, the bill now goes to the Senate. But the measure will require Democratic support in the GOP-controlled upper chamber, where 60 votes are needed for passage, and some Democrats have held their cards close to their vest.

The House passed a government funding bill, daring Senate Democrats to oppose it and risk a partial shutdown as stocks wobble.

Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans voiced confidence that they can push through a stopgap funding bill and avert a government shutdown at the end of this week.
