House Fails to Pass Legislative Branch Funding Bill
Ten Republicans join Democrats in rejecting the GOP-led measure, complicating efforts to pass all 12 annual funding bills.
- The bill failed with a 205-213 vote, with three Democrats supporting it and ten Republicans opposing it.
- Key objections included a provision blocking a pay raise for lawmakers and the overall funding increase.
- The Senate Appropriations Committee advanced its own version of the bill, which includes a 4% funding boost.
- Republicans aimed to use the bill to outline priorities and gain leverage in final negotiations with the Senate.
- House Majority Leader Steve Scalise indicated the party will continue working on other bills and may revisit this one.
