The House failed to pass a stopgap bill that would have funded the government until March 2025.
The House of Representatives struck down a stopgap bill backed by Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday, with over a dozen Republicans defying the chamber's leadership and voting against the measure.The continuing resolution bill would have extended the current government funding levels for another six months, funding the government until March 25—lawmakers have until September 30 to pass a spending bill in order to avoid a government shutdown.
Johnson had blamed Senate Democrats for not bringing any spending measures to the floor and instead putting House Republicans 'in this situation.' Senator Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, has also put pressure on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to bring a full-year funding bill to the floor. Collins told the chamber on Wednesday, 'It does not have to be this way.''The Senate is not doing its job,' Collins added.
