US House approves $1.2 trillion spending bills before deadline

The House of Representatives approved a $1.2 trillion spending package consisting of multiple bills on March 22. Over 70% of the funds in this legislation are allocated for defense spending. The vote was passed with a margin of 286-134. The bill now moves to the Senate for further action. Despite hopes for a final vote later on Friday, there is a possibility that the deadline for funding key federal agencies could be missed.
