The House passed a seven-month funding patch Tuesday that aims to avoid a shutdown in three days’ time.
It’s a major victory for Speaker Mike Johnson, who largely kept his conference together with a single defection and help from one Democrat.
The 217-213 vote went almost entirely along party lines. One Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, voted “yes,” while Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, voted “no.”
The bill now heads to the Senate, where Republicans will need at least eight Democrats to cross the aisle to clear it for President Donald Trump’s signature.
