House Republicans defy Donald Trump, join Democrats in voting for new stopgap bill to avert government shutdown

The United States House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly late Friday to approve a medium-term appropriations measure that will keep the federal government funded and open through the holidays and beyond, but without the increase in the debt ceiling and the tax giveaway for multimillionaires and billionaires that Donald Trump and a circle of his rich donors had demanded at the last minute.

By a vote of 366 to 34, the House sent the legislation to the Senate for further consideration. (It is officially known as H.R. 10445 — Further Continuing Appropriations and Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2025.)

Dozens of Republicans voted against it, while all of the Democrats in the building voted yea except for Representative Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, who voted “Present.”

The revised proposal quickly took flight after congressional Republicans (correctly) concluded that causing another government shutdown would be disastrous.
