U.S. House to vote on government funding stopgap
The measure would keep federal agencies funded at current levels and give lawmakers more time to finish all 12 appropriations bills.
- On Tuesday, July 21, 2026, House Republicans advanced a continuing resolution funding federal agencies through Dec. 4, aiming to avert a government shutdown before the 2026 midterm elections.
- GOP leadership seeks to avoid repeating the previous year's federal shutdowns while simultaneously advancing a $95 billion package boosting defense, farm aid, and President Donald Trump's elections overhaul bill.
- Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the senior Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, criticized the bill for lacking bipartisan negotiations, noting only 16 days remain in the legislative session before lawmakers leave town.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson dared Democrats to vote against the measure, stating 'then they alone are going to own the chaos' if a shutdown occurs, though the bill requires 60 senators to advance.
- Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., backs the extension as 'the best way to spend the least amount of money,' while Rep. Austin Scott, R-Ga., argued it removes shutdown-related political risks.
