The House voted to pass a rule vote to begin debate on four separate spending bills after two rules votes failed last week, prompting Republicans to burst into applaus on the floor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene<\/a>, R-Ga., was the only Republican to vote against the rule, opposing the ‘blood money’ it contained for Ukraine.\u00a0<\/p>\n The House now moves on to debating amendments for the agriculture-FDA, defense, homeland security and state appropriations bills.<\/p>\n McCarthy celebrated the win in a news conference with reporters after the vote where he vowed to bring a stopgap spending bill to the floor to extend the September 30 deadline for a government shutdown.<\/p>\n He said he would bring it to the floor whether or not it had the votes to pass as multiple GOP members remain opposed to any CR, arguing the House must pass 12 single-subject spending bills or nothing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘We want to make sure government stays open as we do our work,’ he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n But the speaker scoffed at the Senate<\/a>‘s new bipartisan CR plan that includes money for Ukraine and disaster relief. He said the Senate’s priorities are ‘backwards’ because their CR included money for Ukraine but did not include border security provisions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n With only four days to shutdown, the rule vote gave a hint of optimism to the House GOP, which is not facing new pressure to agree on spending legislation after the Senate released a bill that would kick the deadline for a government shutdown down the road by six weeks.<\/p>\n The continuing resolution (CR), endorsed by both Senate leaders Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., would extend government funding from September 30 to November 17.\u00a0<\/p>\n It includes over $6 billion in\u00a0Ukraine<\/a> aid, sure to trigger some House conservatives<\/a>. It also includes $6 billion in disaster relief and no border provisions.\u00a0<\/p>\n It’s unlikely the deal could pass before Sunday if Sen. Rand Paul<\/a>, R-Ky., holds up ‘quick passage’ – which requires unanimous consent. He claimed Tuesday he would continue to do so.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘I will object to any kind of easy passage or speeding up of the time. I think it’s bad policy to borrow money from China<\/a> to send it to Ukraine.’<\/p>\n
