YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHouse Republicans are racing to pass their bill by 11:59 p.m. EDT Friday to avert a government shutdown, teeing up a final vote on the legislation Tuesday afternoon.
The chamber voted 216-214 to adopt a rule — which governs debate on legislation — for Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) continuing resolution. The measure would keep the government funded through Sept. 30.
It’s unknown whether the bill will have enough support to pass, as Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) has maintained he would not vote in favor of it. Several other Republicans are undecided, even after hearing support from Vice President Vance.
Democrats are expected to oppose the legislation in large numbers as they raise concerns about the cuts included in the bill. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats are cautious about blocking the funding bill, fearing a government shutdown could backfire on them politically.
