Trump ally pledges to ‘work with people’ he disagrees with after Arizona primary win – US politics live

Andy Biggs – a hard-right congressman endorsed by Donald Trump – won the Republican nomination for Arizona governor

The US House of Representatives on Tuesday approved a stopgap measure to head off a government shutdown until early December, with its Republican leaders seeking to defuse a volatile issue in the run-up to the November midterm elections.

The continuing resolution authorizing government spending until 4 December passed by a vote of 220-205, roughly along party lines. It next heads to the Senate, where it will need to win bipartisan support to clear the chamber.
