The House approved the measure by a vote of 314-108, with opposition coming mostly from the more conservative members of the Republican conference. Shortly before the vote, the House Freedom Caucus announced it "strongly opposes" the measure because it would facilitate more spending than they support.
Nevertheless, about half of Republicans joined with Democrats in passing the third stopgap funding measure in recent months. The action came a few hours after the Senate had voted overwhelmingly to pass the bill by a vote of 77-18.
The measure extends current spending levels and buys time for the two chambers to work out their differences over full-year spending bills for the fiscal year that began in October.
The temporary measure will run until March 1 for some federal agencies. Their funds were set to run out Friday. It extends the remainder of government operations to March 8.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the president would sign the resolution and urged Republicans to quit wasting time on partisan spending bills.
"House Republicans must finally do their job and work across the aisle to pass full-year funding bills that deliver for the American people and address urgent domestic and national security priorities by passing the President's supplemental request," Jean-Pierre said.

The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and early 1930s marked an unprecedented period of expression by Blacks in music, literature, art, politics, and economics. Never before had America seen such a rich, diverse explosion of Black culture. Centered in Harlem, the movement ushered in an era of self-discovery and individual expression that was national in origin and international in scope. The creative efforts of the artists and writers of the Harlem Renaissance laid a powerful foundation that effectively altered the standards of artistic and literacy excellence.
