The House of Representatives has rejected a GOP-sponsored six-month continuing resolution (CR) funding bill, which included the SAVE Act, in a 202-220 vote. The bill, proposed by Speaker Mike Johnson, aimed to avert a government shutdown at the end of the month. This defeat leaves the House with just two weeks to find an alternative solution to prevent the shutdown. The vote saw two Republicans voting present, fourteen Republicans voting no, and three Democrats voting yes. The failure of the bill marks a significant setback for House Republican leadership.
