Congress is expected to pass a temporary spending measure on Wednesday to keep the federal government fully operational for the next three months before members leave Capitol Hill until after the Nov. 5 elections.

Voting on the so-called continuing resolution will begin in the GOP-led House, where Speaker Mike Johnson will need support from Democrats for its passage, then go to the Democrat-controlled Senate, where Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has reportedly set up a quick timetable for floor debate and a final vote. 

At least eight House Republicans are expected to vote against the spending measure because it does not include a voter-integrity amendment known as the SAVE Act, which aimed to keep non-citizens from voting in federal elections. 

Johnson, this past weekend, announced he had reached a deal among Democrats and Republicans in both chambers to pass a continuing resolution this week without the amendment. 

Texas GOP Rep. Wesley Hunt said ahead of Tuesday’s vote that he will not support the new continuing resolution.

“How much more national debt must we amass before we confront the dangers of deficit spending and the unsustainable practice of governing through continuing resolutions?” he wrote on the social media platform, X. “At what point does the debt become high enough? I believe we have already reached that point.”
