美国众议院以220票对205票的结果通过了一项临时政府支出法案 2，将联邦资金授权延至2024年12月4日 2，以阻止原定于9月30日到期的政府关闭 2。这项决定将资金问题推迟至中期选举后数周，反映了共和党领导层在秋季投票前化解预算危机的努力 1。
众议院议长Mike Johnson表示，如果民主党投票反对该法案，"他们将独自承担政府关门造成的混乱后果" 1。众议院拨款委员会主席Tom Cole声称，共和党"拒绝让参议院民主党的阻挠和不作为在9月底引发另一场人为制造的关闭" 2。
然而民主党对该法案提出质疑。众议院民主党拨款委员会排名成员Rosa DeLauro指出，该法案周五才临时提交，没有进行任何两党协商 1，并批评其设计"仓促"，且未对边境巡逻队进行"实质性改革" 2。
该法案接下来需通过参议院，而参议院通过需要60名议员支持 1，意味着需要民主党人的部分支持。目前众议院已通过三项2027财年的拨款措施，但参议院未通过其中任何一项 2。众议院本周离开华盛顿后，在拨款截止日期前仅余16天会议时间 1。
The Republican-led House of Representatives voted to advance a temporary government funding measure, extending federal spending authority to December 4 2. The 220-205 vote fell largely along party lines 2, with the bill designed to prevent a government shutdown before the September 30 deadline when current funding authorization expires 2.
By pushing the funding deadline into December, months past the fiscal year's end, Republicans aim to sidestep the threat of a closure during the midterm election campaign 1. House Speaker Mike Johnson warned that if Democrats vote against the measure, "they will shoulder the chaos of a government shutdown alone" 1.
The legislation also includes a $9.5 billion package supporting defense enhancements, agricultural assistance, and Trump administration election reform initiatives 1. The House will have only 16 days of remaining legislative sessions after departing Washington this week, leaving little time to finalize appropriations before the current deadline 1.
The bill now requires Senate passage, a process that demands 60 votes—meaning Republican support alone will be insufficient and Democratic backing will be necessary 1. The Senate has not yet approved any of the three fiscal 2025 appropriations measures the House has passed 2.
Democrats criticized the approach, with House Appropriations Committee ranking member Rosa DeLauro characterizing the proposal as hastily constructed and submitted Friday without bipartisan consultation 12. She also objected to the absence of "meaningful reforms" regarding Border Patrol within the measure 2.
