House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was able to get a 45-day continuing resolution passed through the House of Representatives on Saturday in an effort to avoid a government shutdown on Sunday.
The stop-gap bill does not have funding for Ukraine, which was a major sticking point for some Republicans, but does include disaster relief funds. The measure will now be sent to the Senate for consideration.Despite concessions to more conservative members of the Republican caucus, not every Republican supported the bill. The bill needed a two-thirds vote of the House to pass it because it was being voted on suspension, and the bill prevailed by a 335-91 vote.
One Democrat and 90 Republicans voted against the stop-gap bill. Here are the Republicans who voted against the stop-gap bill:Rep. Lauren Boebert Rep. Kat Cammack Rep. Warren Davidson Rep. Scott Fitzgerald Rep. Bob Good Rep. Morgan Griffith Rep. Kevin Hern Rep. Trent Kelly Rep. Nancy Mace Rep. Richard McCormick Rep. Nathaniel Moran Rep. Gary Palmer Rep. Matt Rosendale Rep. Tom Tiffany Rep. Randy Weber Five Republicans, Reps.
If a continuing resolution is not agreed by both chambers of Congress before Oct. 1, then the government will shut down, and hundreds of thousands of federal workers will be furloughed or have to work without pay. The government has not shut down since the December 2018 shutdown, which lasted 35 days, ending in January 2019.
A government shutdown would see many federal agencies closed down, with the exception of essential services for the federal government. Those still required to work would do so without pay until the government reopens. Congress would still receive its pay during the shutdown because it is constitutionally mandated.
