The US government will receive funding for the next three months under a bipartisan deal reached on Sunday that will avoid a government shutdown.

The deal would keep the funding in place until Dec. 20, and the House of Representatives is likely to vote on the bill as early as Wednesday.

The news was announced in a press release by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

“For the past four days, bipartisan, bicameral negotiations have been underway to reach an agreement that maintains current funding through December 20 and avoids a government shutdown for a month before the election,” Schumer said in a statement.

“While I am pleased that bipartisan negotiations have quickly produced an agreement on funding the government, free from cuts and poison, the same agreement could have been reached two weeks ago.”

The bill also provides $231 million for the USSS on the condition that the agency cooperates with congressional investigations.
