House Faces Tight Vote on Senate Funding Bill as Democrats Push ACA Subsidy Extension

The Senate’s 60–40 stopgap excluded enhanced Obamacare tax credits, with Speaker Mike Johnson declining to commit to a House vote on renewing them.

Overview

  • The House is set to vote Wednesday on a Senate-crafted measure to end the shutdown after the bill cleared the Senate 60–40.
  • The legislation funds the government through January 30, 2026 and does not extend the enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits.
  • Senate leaders pledged a December vote on the subsidies, a promise that does not compel House action.
  • Speaker Mike Johnson refused to promise a floor vote on any extension as House Democrats offered a three-year renewal amendment that is likely to fail in the Rules Committee.
  • With Republicans holding a 219–215 majority, the outcome is uncertain, and the year-end lapse of the subsidies is projected to raise premiums for millions of enrollees.
