House clears $2.1 billion Capitol security bill, sending to Biden
The House on Thursday cleared a $2.1 billion emergency spending bill that includes funding for the Capitol Police in the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Passage of the bill by a vote of 416-11 came shortly after the Senate advanced the measure hours earlier in a 98-0 vote. The bill now heads to President Biden for his signature. Six Democrats and five Republicans voted against the bill in the House. |
