All four members of Maine’s congressional delegation supported an eleventh-hour bill to fund the federal government for roughly three months — helping stave off a potential government shutdown just hours before the deadline.

The House passed the continuing resolution 366-34 around 6 p.m. Friday, just hours before a midnight deadline to avert a shutdown. The new bill funds the government through March 14. Democratic Reps. Chellie Pingree and Jared Golden of Maine joined more than 350 House lawmakers to support it.

Once it passed the House, the Senate worked into the night to pass the bill, 85-11, just after the midnight deadline. Both of Maine’s senators — Republican Susan Collins and independent Angus King — voted in favor of the bill.

The White House said around midnight that it had ceased shutdown preparations, indicating that President Joe Biden would sign the bill into law; he was expected to do so sometime Saturday.

Maine’s House representatives both noted that the latest deal dropped a controversial suspension of the national debt ceiling, which had been included in an earlier plan backed by President-elect Donald Trump.

“The dysfunction and uncertainty we — and the American people — endured over the past few days thanks to Republicans, Donald Trump and Elon Musk was entirely avoidable,” Pingree said in a statement. “While far from perfect, the passage of this bipartisan funding package is essential to ensuring that the government remains operational, and that critical programs supporting hard-working Americans and their families continue uninterrupted.”

The accepted deal left out certain provisions of previous versions that Golden had opposed, including the debt-ceiling suspension and a pay raise for members of Congress.

“Instead, we’re simply ensuring we avoid a disruptive and costly government shutdown, supporting those who have experienced natural disasters — including at home in Maine — and extending the Farm Bill to provide stability for American farmers,” Golden said in a statement. “This (Continuing Resolution) strikes the balance that we should have been aiming for all along.”

Pingree, a Democrat representing Maine’s 1st Congressional District, had earlier joined nearly all other Democrats and a few dozen Republicans in the House of Representatives in voting against a spending plan proposed by House Speaker Mike Johnson on Thursday. Golden, D-2nd District, also voted against that plan.

That vote came after Trump and billionaire businessman Elon Musk urged Republicans to reject an earlier deal that would have funded the government through mid-March. Pingree was prepared to support that plan.

On Friday, Congress faced a midnight deadline to pass a spending plan or risk a government shutdown.

While Pingree celebrated the the passage generally, she was disappointed to see funding for health care provisions, including cancer research and substance abuse disorder treatment, cut from the version that passed.

She also criticized Republicans for attempting to blockade the process.

“I share the frustrations of many of my colleagues that, under Republican control, Congress has been unable to pass bipartisan agreements, let alone full-year funding bills,” Pingree said.
