Funding Extension Passes House, Heads for Senate Rewrite
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a short-term continuing resolution (CR) on a mostly party-line vote of 220-205 to extend government funding through December 4, 2026, aiming to avert a partial shutdown this fall. The stopgap measure, supported by six Democrats and opposed by one Republican (Thomas Massie), now moves to the Senate, where Republicans plan to add 'anomalies' requested by the Trump administration, particularly for military funding. Senate Majority Leader John Thune intends to bring a modified bill to the floor before the August recess, but the House is leaving town earlier, raising the possibility of final negotiations in September. House Appropriations Chairman Tom Cole said the move pressures Democrats ahead of the midterm elections. Democratic leaders criticized the bill as premature and lacking bipartisan input.
