The bill, introduced by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) hours before the vote, was defeated 174-235-1. Because he received the prescribed suspension, he fell short of the two-thirds difference needed to pass.
The bill was introduced as Plan B on Thursday after an initial bipartisan initiative stalled after widespread opposition from House Republicans and public opposition from President Trump on Wednesday.
The new bill, which President Trump supported and touted as a “very good deal for the American people,” was proposed by Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Florida) and Rep. Marie Grusenkamp Perez (D-Washington). It attracted the support of two House Democrats. .
Following the failed vote, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana) told reporters the bill would not be sent to the Rules Committee.
“It's not in this bill…not right now,” Scalise said. “We're going to have some more conversations. We're going to keep talking, so I'm not saying there's nothing left.”
If lawmakers on Capitol Hill don't pass a spending bill by 11:59 p.m. local time on Friday, the government will shut down.
