House passes GOP funding bill, narrowly avoiding shutdown

The House of Representatives passed a GOP funding bill on Tuesday with a vote of 217-213. The resolution aims to prevent a government shutdown, reflecting strong party lines with nearly all Republicans in favor and most Democrats opposed. Only one Republican, Thomas Massie, voted against the bill, criticizing its spending levels. One Democrat, Jared Golden, supported it, citing concerns about the chaos a shutdown could cause. Two representatives did not vote. The bill now moves to the Senate, where it requires seven non-Republican votes to overcome a filibuster. This situation puts pressure on Senate Democrats to decide their stance on the funding plan.
