8:54Now PlayingThe House on Tuesday passed a Republican-led bill to fund the government through September in an effort to avert a shutdown. The vote came out at 217-213. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky was the lone GOP holdout while Rep. Jared Golden of Maine was the only Democrat to support the bill, which now heads to the Senate ahead of a Friday deadline.
Lawmakers said the bill would trim $13 billion in non-defense spending from the levels in the 2024 budget year and increase defense spending by $6 billion.
These changes are rather flat for both categories when compared with an overall topline of nearly $1.7 trillion in discretionary spending.
The bill does not cover the majority of government spending, including Social Security and Medicare. Funding for those two programs is on autopilot and not regularly reviewed by Congress.
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-LA., moved ahead on the bill, essentially daring Democrats to oppose it and risk a shutdown that would begin Saturday if lawmakers failed to act on the continuing resolution, often referred to by lawmakers as a CR.
