House Fails To Pass Six-Month Government Funding Bill

People walk along the east front plaza of the US Capitol as night falls on December 17, 2019 in Washington, DC.

The House of Representatives has failed to pass a stopgap government funding bill that would have kept funding at current levels until March 28^th, 2025.

The bill also included a provision requiring proof of citizenship nationwide for U.S. voter registration.

The spending bill failed in a 220-202 vote. 206 Democrats and 14 Republicans opposed the measure, while 199 Republicans and three Democrats voted in favor of it.

Republican Representatives Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) voted present.

Tonight, I voted present on the CR + SAVE Act because I refuse to participate in a lie and Johnson’s fake fight with the Senate.

I’ve never voted for a CR and I already voted to pass the SAVE Act in July.

Especially, when rumor has it, Mike Johnson has already negotiated…

Congress has until September 30^th to pass a spending bill in order to avoid a partial federal government shutdown.
