House Fails to Pass Legislative Branch Funding Bill 205-213 Amid GOP Division
Jul 11, 2024, 03:42 PM
The House of Representatives failed to pass the Legislative Branch Appropriations bill, with a vote of 205-213. The bill, which typically funds House operations and Capitol Police, faced opposition due to provisions that were seen as discriminatory and harmful. Democrats successfully blocked the bill, arguing it contained measures that would roll back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, target DACA recipients, and encourage plastic waste and car pollution. The failure of this bill is seen as a significant setback for House Republicans, who struggled to gain sufficient support even within their own party, with 10 Republicans voting against it. This bill, often considered low hanging fruit, contrasts sharply with the Senate Appropriations Committee's unanimous passage of their version.
