The White House said in a statement that it is confident the US Senate will pass a $1.2 trillion spending bill shortly after missing the midnight deadline late Friday night, so it has ceased preparations for a government shutdown.
"OMB [Office of Management and Budget] has ceased shutdown preparations because there is a high degree of confidence that Congress will imminently pass the relevant appropriations and the President will sign the bill on Saturday," the White House said shortly after midnight on Friday.
