House Fails to Pass $1,547 Billion Spending Bill as Over 30 Republicans Vote No on December 19, 2024
Dec 19, 2024, 11:39 PM
The U.S. House of Representatives has failed to pass a Continuing Resolution (CR) spending bill aimed at averting a government shutdown. The bill, which was 1,547 pages long, required a two-thirds majority to pass but fell short of the necessary votes during a session held on December 19, 2024. A total of over 30 House Republicans opposed the bill, including notable figures such as Representatives Nancy Mace, Wesley Hunt, Kat Cammack, Andy Biggs, Bob Good, Paul Gosar, Ralph Norman, and Tim Burchett. The House was expected to vote around 6 PM ET, but the outcome was anticipated to be unfavorable. Following the failure, the House may attempt to pass the bill again under different rules to secure a simple majority. The deadline to avert a government shutdown is midnight on December 19, 2024.
