US House LIVE: House Approves Stopgap Funding Bill to Avoid Government Shutdown | House GOP | N18G

Описание: The Republican-controlled House this morning passed a stopgap bill to fund the government until just before Thanksgiving, daring Democrats in the Senate to reject the measure and risk a shutdown at the end of this month.
The vote was 217-212, with one Democrat joining Republicans voting yes. Two Republicans, and all other Democrats, voted against the bill.
Speaker Mike Johnson is ready to bring a continuing resolution (CR) to avert a shutdown to the House floor on Friday, before the chamber leaves for a recess that stretches beyond the Oct. 1 government funding deadline.
Democrats have vowed to vote against the funding bill, demanding restoration of Medicaid support and action to extend subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that are set to expire at the end of the year.
Johnson’s plan would jam Senate Democrats. Also Friday, the House will vote on a resolution honoring the legacy of conservative pundit Charlie Kirk. President Trump, just returned from his trip to the U.K., has nothing on his public schedule. He is also expected to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping, after announcing earlier this week that the U.S. may have a deal with China over TikTok and will sign executive orders later Friday.
The Senate will vote Friday on competing CRs, one led by Republicans and one led by Democrats. Both are expected to fail, raising the chances of a shutdown in less than two weeks. Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday it’s “unlikely” the Senate will come back next week. That means the next vote on the GOP’s stopgap bill would be the evening of Monday, Sept. 29 — less than 48 hours before a potential shutdown.
