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…
