Republicans in the House of Representatives pass a bill to avoid the closure of the government



On Tuesday, the House of Representatives approved a funding bill to avoid the government’s closure at the end of the week, which led to an increase in the procedure to consider the Senate.

The Chamber scanned the continuous decision (CR) in the party to a large extent 217-213, with only one Democrat-Deputy Jared Golden (M. Min)-he chooses his party leaders to support this procedure. MP Thomas Massi (R-Ky) was the only vote on the Republican Party “No”.

The legislation will fund the government until September 30, at the end of the fiscal year, while strengthening funds for defense programs and imposing discounts on inaccurate financing. The current financing ends at 11:59 pm on Friday.

The draft law is now heading to the Senate, where its future is suspended in balance.

While many Democrats in the Senate have criticized the legislation-which raised concerns about the discounts in spending, instead, they developed a shorter stop to allow more time to negotiate the two parties on the bills of full year-a number of vulnerable members block the ruling, and weigh their concerns with the bill against the political reality of the possibility of closing.

For his part, the majority leader of the Senate Chuck Schumer (DN.Y.), a precise line when it comes to political vote. When asked about the StopGAP bill in the House of Representatives shortly before Tuesday’s vote in the lower room, it was shy.

“We will wait to see what the house is doing first,” said the highest democrats of journalists.

The battle revolves around Stopgap in the lower chamber largely around the Ministry of Government efficiency (DOGE), which is supervised by Elon Musk, which worked to restructure the federal government.

Republicans – who usually hate CRS – around Stopgap as Doge continues to work, while Democrats demanded, albeit to no avail, to include a language that would limit the strength of the group.

The successful vote is a tremendous victory for the spokesperson Mike Johnson (R-La), who unveiled the bill during the weekend, and persuaded nearly ten of the Republican Party to support legislation, and ultimately CR through its oral majority.

“We will have votes,” Johnson said before the vote on Tuesday morning. “We will make CR. We can do it alone. But what I say is that the Democrats should do the responsible thing, follow their advice in every previous scenario and keep the government open.”

Republican support from the non -falling legislation met in the last hours of the vote, with a handful of militant conservatives who expressed its eventually opposition to the draft law to throw their support behind this effort. In a large batch, the House of Representatives Freedom Council, which usually opposed to stopping, officially supported the legislation.

Approval of this procedure is also a victory for President Trump, who supported Stopgap and spoke with the Republican Party opponents in the last hours before voting, which helped to turn the situation and get the management of the finish line. In addition, Vice Vice President Vances spoke to Republicans in the House of Representatives during their meeting of closed conferences on Tuesday morning, as he presented a final stadium to support the legislation.

“In these circumstances, the House of Representatives and the Senate gathered a very good financing bill (‘C”! Trump wrote about the social truth during the weekend: “All Republicans must vote (please!) Yes next week.” The great things are coming for America, and I ask you all to give us a few months to get to September so that we can continue to put the “financial house” in the country. “

The passage of the draft law at home is the culmination of a period of months in the lower chamber to settle spending on the fiscal year 2025, which included two extensive stops and negotiations.

The best specialized behind the scenes to conclude a deal on Topline numbers for 12 but to no avail bills.

Democrats, who are concerned about Dog’s cuts to large areas of the government, have called for the language that requires Trump to direct the money allocated by Congress, which was abnormal for Republicans.

At the same time, the Republican leadership faced increasing pressure from its right wing for a more aggressive measure to reduce government spending. Some militant conservatives, including MP ROY (R-Texas), warned last month that his support for a larger package and billions of taxes and spending will be on the amount of funding that increased according to a spending deal from the two parties for the 2025 fiscal year.

Republicans eventually described this measure on Tuesday as a “clean” continuous solution that increases defense spending while maintaining public spending near the fiscal year 2024 levels. Republicans say the draft law will also give the Ministry of Defense’s flexibility to start new programs and transfer money around it.

At the same time, the Republicans highlighted additional funding for the Federal Feeding Program for Women, infants, children, or WIC, and increases in wages already authorized for novice military individuals and increased to support air traffic control efforts.

However, the Democrats in both Councils strongly opposed the draft law, accusing the Republicans of brief programs such as the National Institutes of Health, Nuclear weapons proliferation programs, agricultural research efforts and some assistance in the Ministry of Agriculture in the United States. The draft law will also return to another $ 20 billion to serve internal revenue (IRS).

Democratic criticism extended beyond the Capitol, as the mayor of the capital, Morel Boser (D), and local officials also appear to be a warning about what they described as a negligence of a long -term clause allowing the boycott to continue spending at the levels of its local budget for the fiscal year 2025.

Bowser said that the plan “will immediately have the impact of a billion dollars” from the capital’s budget. But it is still unclear whether this step is intended.

When asked about the claims on Monday, he told the head of the home allocations Tom Cole (R-OKLA) The Hill that “many of these things, again, were opening things,” but added that “he must pass and look at them in more detail than me.”

“I’m sorry if not everything is perfect, and I am sorry that the Democrats were not on the table to speak to us, but this is what it is.”
