The bill now moves to the Senate, where its future is stuck in balance.
While many Senate Democrats have condemned the law, raise concerns about reducing the cost, and instead allow to give more time for bilateral negotiations on the full year bills-the sensitive members are stopping the verdict, potentially pushing their concerns with political reality.
Senate minority leader Chak Shumer (DNY), for his part, has been careful when it comes to politically prickly votes. Shortly before Tuesday’s vote in the Lower Chamber, the House GOP Asked about the stopg AP Bill, it was a coy.
“We are waiting to see what we do before the house,” the top Democrat told reporters.
Passing the stopg APP in the House puts a pin on Trump’s second -term fight in the lower chamber, which is largely around the government efficiency (DOGE) overseeing by Alon Musk.
Republicans – Many of which are commonly contrary to constant resolutions (CRs) – Dodge rallies around the stop at the name of allowing the government to continue their work to reduce the size of the government. Democrats demanded, despite unsuccessful, to include a language that will limit the power of the dodge.
The successful view shows Johnson’s big victory, who unveiled the bill over the weekend, about a dozen GOPs to support the law. Holdouts were assured and eventually muscular the CR by its razor-thin majority.
For the law, the nearest republican support votes came together in the previous hours, with a handful of hard-line Rup Rup Rup’s Rupe Rup, who opposed the bill, eventually throwing his support behind the effort. And in significant incentives, the House Freedom Cocks, which usually opposes stopg the APP, supports the law formal.
“Nothing will stop President Trump and Republicans in Congress to meet that agenda,” Johnson told reporters after the vote. “We will continue to work hard, we will stay together and complete this work, and that’s one must.”

Talked to opponents, helped to flip the holdouts and complete the finish line. In addition, Vice President Vens on Tuesday morning spoke to the Home Republican during his closed-door conference, giving a final pitch in support of the law.
“I talked to @Potus today. Voting for CR goes against every bone of my body, but I am fully trusted by the President’s long -term commitment to obtain our financial home systematically, “Rap. Greg Steb (R-Fl.) wrote on x.
The bill in the house is the culmination of efforts for months in the lower chamber to settle costs for financial 2025, including two stopgs APPs and extensive negotiations.

Chip Roy (R-Texas), he warned last month that his support for a large, multitrillion-dolar lare package would be accidental to reduce taxes and costs under bilateral cost deals for financial 2025.

The bill will also withdraw $ 20 billion for internal revenue service.
The Democratic criticism has gone beyond the capitol, as the mayor of DC and local officials also described the long -lasting provision as an alarm, which will continue to spend the district at its local budget level for financial 2025.
Bauser has said that the scheme will immediately “have the effect of cutting $ 1 billion” from DC’s budget. But it is not clear whether the step was intentional.
Asked about the claims on Monday, House Approved Col (R-Okala) said to the hill, “It was a lot of content, again, inaugural material,” but he added “to pass and it is more detailed than me.”
