House Fails to Pass Trump-Backed Funding Bill as 38 Republicans Vote No, Shutdown Looms
Dec 20, 2024, 12:02 AM
On December 19, 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives failed to pass a Trump-backed Continuing Resolution (CR) intended to avert a government shutdown and suspend the debt ceiling. The bill required a two-thirds majority but fell short with a vote count of 174-235-1. Notably, 38 Republicans, despite endorsements from President-elect Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson, voted against the bill. The failure leaves Congress with no clear plan to prevent a shutdown set to begin at midnight on December 20.
