The legislation went to Biden early Saturday morning after the Senate voted 85 to 11 to approve the measure, which sailed through the House hours earlier.

"The Speaker did a good job here, given the circumstances," Musk said on his social media platform X.

"It went from a bill that weighed pounds to a bill that weighed ounces."

Biden's signature extends government funding to March 14 and includes more than $100 billion in aid for natural disaster victims and farmers, the White House said in a statement.

As Joseph Lord and Arjun Singh detailed earlier via The Epoch Times, both chambers of Congress on Dec. 21 passed a last-minute funding package that would extend government funding to March 14, sending it to President Joe Biden's desk.

The legislation, dubbed the American Relief Act, passed the Senate in a late-night 85-11 vote that wrapped up not long after the midnight shutdown deadline on Saturday. The House of Representatives passed the same bill in a 366–34 vote earlier in the afternoon on Dec. 20.

The passage of the legislation by both chambers of Congress caps off a week of uncertainty as lawmakers sought to reorganize following the collapse of a previous funding agreement due to opposition from President-elect Donald Trump and other Republicans.

Aside from punting government funding into next year, the 118-page bill approves $110 billion in emergency hurricane relief and $30 billion in farm aid, extends the farm bill for one year, and includes a series of other minor provisions.

"This is America First legislation, because it allows us to be set up to deliver for the American people in January," House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said following the lower chamber's passage of the legislation.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) indicated that although he wasn't thrilled about the package, he was happy an agreement had been reached.

"We got some major things we wanted in the bill, particularly the disaster relief. ... we kept the government open, and we didn't get the debt ceiling," Schumer said. "So there were three major victories. We didn't get everything we wanted, but I think if you look at the vote in the House, people felt pretty good it was virtually unanimous."
