House passes bill to fund the government until after midterm elections
The 220-205 vote keeps agencies funded at current levels and sets up a Senate fight over a shutdown threat before the November elections.
- On Tuesday, the House voted 220 to 205 to extend government funding through Dec. 4, aiming to avert a shutdown before the November midterm elections.
- House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole said the clean extension avoids disruptions as the funding process has stalled in the Senate with no annual appropriations bills cleared by the committee.
- Democratic leaders opposed the measure, stating it "fails to block funding for Donald Trump's violent mass deportation machine" and grants the administration excessive budget authority without reforms.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he would put the funding plan to a vote before the August recess, indicating he may use reconciliation to bypass Democratic opposition.
- The legislative effort follows two government shutdowns earlier this Congress, with leaders hoping this short-term patch provides stability while avoiding partisan funding battles seen in previous months.
