Failing to pass a CR would mean a politically fraught government shutdown ahead of the Nov. 3 elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mirroring an earlier draft from House Democrats, the bill would also extend the window for reimbursing government contractors for costs related to COVID-19 through Dec. 11\u2015a step <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2020\/07\/27\/extend-contractor-reimbursement-period-trade-groups-urge-congress\/\" target=_blank>sought by trade groups<\/a>.

The CR passed the House, 359-57, as 230 Democrats voted \u201cyea,\u201d and 129 Republicans joined them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House passed a stopgap spending
