House Passes Pork-Filled Bill To Fully Fund Government

The $1.2 trillion minibus bill has passed the house, and will now head to the Senate, despite objections from House conservative.

The vote was 286-134, with 112 Republicans and 22 Dems against.

In short, Democrats bailed out Johnson once again - the same move which resulted in the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

House GOP leaders are struggling with the funding bill, as Speaker Johnson needs at least 100 GOP votes in order to pass it today, Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman reports.

These aren’t hair-on-fire concerns quite yet — but it’s approaching that level. The whip count at Thursday’s early afternoon vote series came in softer than the House Republican leadership would’ve liked. Leadership aides, however, expressed confidence they’d be able to deliver enough votes to hit the two-thirds needed to pass this 1,000-page measure. A partial government shutdown begins at midnight, although it won’t be fully felt until Monday.
