The bill keeps the government funded until Nov. 21, punting the deadline another seven weeks as appropriators continue to negotiate and work to pass all 12 appropriations bills through both chambers of Congress.

The majority of Democrats voting against the bill did not come as a surprise.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said during a press conference ahead of the vote that Democrats were a “hard no” on the continuing resolution, noting the lack of healthcare concessions in the bill. Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar (D-CA) said the party would not “rubber stamp” a CR “that does nothing to fix the healthcare crisis [the GOP] created.”

The caucus put up a Democratic motion ahead of the CR vote that would strike the text of the Republican bill and replace it with the Democratic proposal that would keep the $30 million mutual aid fund and include an additional $90 million for House enhanced security programs, $66.5 million for the Senate sergeant-at-arms, and $140 million for the Supreme Court and federal courts. But it failed along party lines.

Unlike other recent CRs, House GOP leaders expressed more confidence that they would have the votes for the legislation, given that it was “clean” and that there was significantly less member drama. Fiscal hawks such as Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Ralph Norman (R-SC), rabblerousers who have fought leadership on spending deals in the past, voted for the bill without any pushback.

A handful of Republicans were on watch during the CR vote: Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Victoria Spartz (R-IN), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Tim Burchett (R-TN), and Warren Davidson (R-OH). All had expressed that they were either hard “nos” or were undecided heading into the vote.

But there was no standoff on this vote. Only Massie and Spartz voted against the bill, and Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) was the sole Democrat to vote “yes.”

Both House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) said before the vote that they were sure they would have the numbers to pass the bill.

Included in the bill is a $30 million boost for member security in a law enforcement mutual aid fund and a $58 million request from the Trump administration for security increases for the executive and judicial branches. It also includes a $1 billion funding fix for the District of Columbia budget.

The security increase comes after the assassination of Charlie Kirk last week, which led several members to express concerns about their own safety, ability to hold events, and travel in their districts.

A private security pilot program for members, which was set to expire on Sept. 30, is not included in the CR. However, the House Administration Committee reappropriated funds to increase the pilot program stipend from $5,000 a month to $10,000.

Johnson told reporters ahead of the CR vote that there could be another vote on a stand-alone measure on lawmaker security funding in October. He said the $30 million and $58 million figures were a good start.

“But of course, we have many more people serving here than in these other branches, and so we’ll have to address that, probably in another measure when we return in October,” Johnson said.

The GOP’s CR now heads to the Senate. The upper chamber is expected to vote on both the Democratic proposal, which is likely to fail, and the Republican bill, whose fate is up in the air. Senate Democrats have promised that they are in lockstep with their House counterparts, but eyes will be on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to see whether he assists the GOP like he did in March.
