House votes to pass short-term funding bill and prevent a shutdown before the election

The 370-48 vote extends current funding levels and gives lawmakers more time to negotiate a full-year spending deal.

  • On Tuesday, the House voted 370-48 to pass a short-term funding bill, sending the legislation to President Donald Trump for his expected signature to avert a government shutdown.
  • Senate lawmakers previously passed the measure, which maintains current government funding levels through Dec. 11, effectively punting broader fiscal negotiations until after the Nov. 3 midterm election.
  • House Freedom Caucus members, including Rep. Chip Roy and Rep. Andy Harris, opposed the bill over funding for Planned Parenthood and the absence of a ban on hemp products containing THC.
  • Using "suspension of the rules," House Speaker Mike Johnson bypassed procedural hurdles and secured Democratic votes to achieve the two-thirds majority needed in the narrowly divided chamber.
  • This stopgap measure defers work on 12 appropriations bills until after the election, as Democrats and Republicans remain deadlocked over a proposed $1.5 trillion military budget versus the $1 trillion allocated this year.
