GOP rushes funding package to floor to end shutdown as immigration and voting-rule clashes roil negotiations

House Republicans moved to bring the Senate-passed, $1.2 trillion funding package back to the floor with a 10-day DHS funding stopgap to end a partial shutdown, while hard-liners press to attach the SAVE Act (voter-ID and anti-noncitizen provisions). White House lobbying and Democratic splits complicate passage in a razor-thin majority, and a newly sworn-in Democrat gives Republicans a slim 218-214 edge; a final vote could come Tuesday if the rule clears, but Senate resistance to the elections measure could stall any deal.

House Democrats Divide Over $1.2 Trillion Funding Bill Ahead of Floor Vote

Senior House Democrats are split on a $1.2 trillion funding package heading to the floor, with Rosa DeLauro signaling support to secure five full-year bills and a 10-day DHS stopgap, while Jim McGovern opposes due to immigration-enforcement concerns. Neither leader is expected to vote for the rule, and Republicans face pressure to attach the SAVE Act, which could prolong the shutdown. Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing to pass the package Tuesday, as a newly sworn-in Christian Menefee gives Republicans a slim 218-214 edge.

Capitol Shutdown Persists as Tuesday Vote on $1.2T Funding Bill Looms

The partial government shutdown continues into at least Tuesday as House Republicans delay a vote on the Senate-passed $1.2 trillion funding package amid Democratic opposition and intra-GOP tensions; a Monday Rules Committee meeting will set the stage for a Tuesday floor vote, but Democrats have said they won’t provide the roughly 70 votes needed under fast-track suspension, and some conservatives want to attach an elections bill, keeping passage uncertain. The package would fund most federal agencies through Sept. 30 and extend DHS funding for two weeks.

GOP Pursues DHS Reforms Amid Shutdown Countdown

With a Friday funding deadline approaching, Senate Republicans are pressuring for codified DHS reforms to temper immigration enforcement, aiming for a separate DHS bill or changes folded into the funding package, while Democrats insist reforms must be enacted in law rather than rely on executive action. Procedural hurdles and House resistance loom large as both parties seek a bipartisan path, amid safety concerns raised by recent shootings and a tough political climate around immigration and enforcement.
