How each member of the House voted on the government funding deal
CNN
The House on Tuesday approved a spending plan aimed at averting a possible government shutdown, though the measure still needs Senate passage before funding runs out.
The House on Wednesday approved a spending plan to avert a possible government shutdown in a bipartisan vote that divided the Republican conference. The agreement, which still needs Senate passage, would extend government operations through December under a narrow continuing resolution advanced by Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson. The measure faced opposition from some members of his own conference in the Republican-controlled body. House Republicans bypassed those objections by employing a procedural move that relied heavily on Democrats, a maneuver known as suspension of the rules that required a two-thirds majority vote. In the end, the House vote was 341 to 82, with 132 Republicans and 209 Democrats voting in favor and 82 Republicans voting against.
