House passes funding bill, Senate's support uncertain

The House passed a government funding bill for six months with a vote of 217-213. This marks a significant step as the bill now heads to the Senate, where it faces uncertainty due to the need for bipartisan support. Rep. Jared Golden was the only Democrat to support the bill, while Rep. Thomas Massie was the sole Republican against it. The Senate requires 60 votes to pass the bill, needing eight Democratic votes. Democrats expressed concerns about potential cuts to funding, particularly for Washington, D.C. The bill maintains fiscal 2024 funding levels, which could lead to significant budget reductions for the city.
